Richmond's Annual Awesome Adult Spelling Bee

RICHMOND, VA – Competition is buzzing, and Podium invites you to attend Richmond’s 9th Annual Awesome Adult Spelling Bee on Thursday, April 28th from 5:30 – 8:30 PM at the U-Turn Atrium, 2102 Maywill St. Richmond, VA 23230. Following the resounding success of last year’s virtual competition, this will be the first time in three years the RVA Bee is in person, and we can’t wait! 

 

Podium RVA, a local nonprofit based in Richmond, VA, empowers youth to become confident and capable writers, communicators, and leaders with the skills necessary to succeed in school, career, and in life. The RVA Bee is a happy hour networking event. Funds raised provide much-needed revenue for Podium’s after-school and summer programs for middle and high schoolers living in under-resourced communities. In 2021, Podium reached over 350 children and teens thanks to the success of last year’s Bee. 


The event starts at 5:30pm, and the competition starts at 6pm. You don’t want to miss teams from across the region compete for the Best Speller in Richmond! Shout outs to previous championship winners, including the Richmond Times Dispatch, Sauers Brands, Swedish Match, Sands Anderson, Scribe on Demand, Richmond Magazine, and more!

ACTIVELY ENROLLING! CALL MARIA WASHINGTON AT 270-7502 The founders of Coal Pit Learning Center believed that providing low income children with essential social, emotional, and academic skills would give them the confidence and capabilities needed to excel in school, thus enabling them ultimately to enter the work force competitively and to escape from or avoid the cycle of poverty. The central focus of the Coal Pit program is building a positive concept of self in each and every child, based upon the children’s actual achievements in the program. Increased self-control and a positive approach toward learning demonstrate the children’s improved attitude toward life in general as they progress through the program. Exposing these children to a nurturing environment at such an early age has a profound impact. The children’s successes at Coal Pit carry over into kindergarten, elementary school, and even further into higher education. The lessons they learn in those years teach them the things they need to live better, more fulfilled lives in adulthood. However, Coal Pit takes one more step: reaching out to the parents. Coal Pit teaches parenting skills and life lessons to whole families. Visit Coal Pit Learning Center here
