Spelling Bee beneďŹ ts Study Connection Fort Wayne Community Schools’ Study Connection is hosting its fourth annual Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee to raise money for the after-school program. The event will be held Friday, April 25, at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. Teams of three work together to spell words in each round, and like traditional spelling bees, are eliminated by misspelling a word. The victors of each spelling round advance to a champion’s round for the chance to win the coveted Honeycomb Trophy. Teams can register to participate for $150. As added insurance, teams can purchase up to three spell checks, allowing teams to advance to the next round even after misspelling a word. Spell checks will be sold for $50 in advance and $60 at the event. Registration for the event is due by Friday, April 11. Individuals must be 21 or older to participate. Those not inter-
ested in participating but who want to support Study Connection can sponsor a letter for $100 or serve as an event sponsor for up to $5,000. Spectators are encouraged to attend and watch the spelling bee. General admission tickets are available for $20, which includes hors d’oeuvres. To participate, sponsor or attend the event, contact the FWCS Community Programs Department at 467-8810 or e-mail Sharon.Callender@fwcs.k12.in.us. Study Connection began in 1989, founded by Don Wolf, retired CEO and president emeritus of Do it Best Corp. In the last two decades an estimated 10,000 students have gone through the program. Volunteers are matched one-to-one with FWCS students who need academic assistance. Students and volunteers meet weekly after school for one hour during the school year.
