Wellesley Spelling Bee
November
The Wellesley Spelling Bee is a Wellesley tradition that brings our community together to celebrate education. It's a unique opportunity every year to see members of the community across all generations participate at the same event with the same level of excitement. Although it is a major fundraiser for public education in our town, equally important to WEF is the event's role in building a sense of community in Wellesley.
