We are just buzzing with excitement! MCAEL's Spelling Bee is back for its 11th year!
Join MCAEL staff, board, programs, community leaders, local businesses, and your Montgomery County neighbors for a fun, lively event to support English language programs in our community.
Ready, Set, S-P-E-L-L!
Release your inner geek and cheer on teams as they compete in the Grown-Up Spelling Bee! The champion team for 2025 was Burness. Will they t-r-i-u-m-p-h or will another team buzz away with the victory?
What's the Buzz all about?
There are over 144,000 adults in Montgomery County who self-identify as speaking English “less than very well.” Learning English is about much more than language – it's about dignity, safety, and belonging. And learning English doesn’t just benefit individuals. It has a multiplying effect – improving the lives of families, the local economy, and our shared community.
The Place to Bee:
Be a part of our hive of spectators and enjoy a fun night of food, cocktails, spelling, and p-h-i-l-a-n-t-h-r-o-p-y.
Invite your friends and colleagues and help us spread the buzz!
Purchase a Letter!
Make an impact and purchase a letter (or two) for $100. It’s a great way to market your business or honor a loved one while supporting MCAEL. Your letter purchase helps MCAEL strengthen and support the county’s English language learning programs and learners.
