RVNAhealth Spelling Bee is Wednesday, March 18 at The Ridgefield Playhouse

We don't want to frighten her, because she's so bright, kind, and good-natured (just look at her!), but Liz Hartery, YOU are the one to beat on Wednesday 3/18. Why? Because in middle school, Liz participated in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington DC. Yes, the FINAL. Which makes Liz a pretty impressive 8th grader and not much of an underdog. Does she still have what it takes? Come to the RVNAhealth Spelling Bee and find out! https://rvnahealth.org/2020-spelling-bee/

More on the Bee …

What are the rules?

Our Bee is modeled after the famous National Scripps Spelling Bee – with a few twists. One of our special rules of play is that contestants are allowed a “lifeline” in the audience to help them out with difficult words. See the full list of rules here.

How do you ensure that everyone follows the rules?

We have judges for that! This year, they are Theresa Santoro, RVNAhealth president & CEO; Geoffrey Morris, editor and publisher, TownVibe and the winner of the inaugural RVNAhealth Spelling Bee in 2012; and 2019 Spelling Bee champion, Basil Kolani of Ridgefield Academy.

Date: Wednesday, March 18
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Ridgefield Playhouse, 80 East Ridge Road, Ridgefield, CT
