Literacy for Life is excited to announce the Grate Groan Up Spelling Bee an annual fundraising event that will be taking place on September 29th in High River at the Wales Theatre. The Grate Groan Up Spelling Bee is the hottest competition in the Foothills! This hilarious, action packed event has teams of 3 adults competing in a battle for bragging rights to spelling supremacy as well at Gratest Pledges Raised! Doors open at 12:30 with a silver collection at the door. This community-focused event involves the whole family, creates awareness of literacy and raises funds to support programs for families and individuals.
Along with the Spelling Bee community members are invited to participate in the Cardboard Challenge and #Kindstones in celebration of Alberta Arts and Culture Days.
“Literacy for Life focuses on providing tailored literacy programs that provides tools, strategies and knowledge to parents, adult learners and agencies helping to build literacy and essential skills in the Foothills” said Doug Howard, Honorary Chair of the Bee. “Literacy is so much more than reading and writing, and this fun event helps get that message across and helps raise funds to ensure we can carry on the work.”
