Annual Spellebration
The Literacy Center of West Michigan hosts an annual spelling bee and awards ceremony called Spellebration. This event keeps all the fun of the spelling bee and also recognizes the accomplishments of the students, tutors and community leaders who make our programs possible. Each team participating in the spelling bee is comprised of representatives from local companies. The teams go head-to-head in a competition to win the trophy and bragging rights of being named the winners.
