You support IPEI Grants at the Sunday, March 5 Spelling Bee!
IPEI awarded over $62,000 in grants last year to teachers and others with innovative ideas about how to enhance the education of ICSD students. With the community’s support of the upcoming IPEI Adult Spelling Bee, Executive Director Steve Manley and the IPEI Board are poised to allocate even more grants this year!
IPEI is looking for spellers, and also for team sponsors, fundraisers, program advertisers, and silent auction item donors!
Monday Feb 13 is the new deadline for signing up for one or more ways to participate!
1. Be a speller! IPEI is looking for teams of 3, and the entrance cost is $400. There’s room for 3 more!
2. Sponsor a speller or a team!
3. Donate to the Spelling Bee Silent Auction! (If you know a business, artist, craftsperson- anyone who can make a donation, IPEI would love to feature them!)
4. Encourage someone to take out an event program ad to support the event
Welcome to the Spellers and Sponsors as of Feb. 10!
Bee-ing a Spelling Bee Team Sponsor is a great way the community supports IPEI’s grants programs and encourages others to participate as members of Spelling Bee teams! Thank you to:
