'Bee on Board for Literacy' Spelling Bee: Family Learning Institute May 4, 2012

Ever wished you could be part of the excitement of a real spelling bee? Do you also believe in helping kids from low-income households close the achievement gap? Come join the Family Learning Institute’s sixth annual Bee on Board for Literacy, where up to 20 teams of three adults will battle it out for bragging rights. Be in the audience or form a team of your own to raise money for FLI.

Since 1999, FLI has helped over 800 economically disadvantaged students improve their reading, writing, and math through free, one-on-one, out-of-school-time academic intervention. The Bee is FLI's major annual fundraiser -- we welcome friends, old and new, to become part of this community-based effort. Doors open at 6:30, with drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and music by the Community High Jazz Band.
