We’re buzzing with excitement! 🐝

Our 2026 Read To Bee (6th Grade Spelling Bee) will be held on Friday, April 10th at the Washington Theatre at Patterson Park Community Center in Murfreesboro.

Join us for a fun evening as the top 6th-grade spellers from Middle Tennessee Christian School (Official), Murfreesboro City Schools and Rutherford County Schools take the stage and share their talents. Come cheer on these incredible students and celebrate their hard work and love of learning!

This free community event is a wonderful way to support our local youth and promote literacy. Bring your friends, family, and help us fill the room with encouragement for these young spellers. 🎤

For more information, contact Andrea at [email protected].
