A Schoolhouse Rock-themed spelling bee for grown-ups puts teams to the test for a good cause: free books for Baltimore kids.

Conjunction Junction: A Spelling Function is a family-friendly, in-person spelling bee for grown-ups and the local Baltimore community.

Always Remember The Kids and Ceremony Coffee Roasters invite you to dust off your dictionary for a Schoolhouse Rock-themed competition. Teams go head-to-head for a cash grand prize and bragging rights, all to support Baltimore's kids.

Date: Saturday, November 14, 2026 Time: 6:00 PM–8:30 PM; doors open at 5:30 PM Location: Ceremony Coffee Roasters, 520 Park Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21201 Food: Free snacks

How it works

There are only 8 team slots, with up to 3 adults per team. The winning team takes home the cash grand prize. Stick around for a raffle at the end of the spelling bee.

Why we're spelling All proceeds support Baltimore's kids attending the Wonders & Words Kids Literacy Festival for free in March 2027. Every child will leave with free books, and every caregiver will receive free materials and resources. Friendly competition opens the door to community literacy programming for Baltimore's children, no matter the zip code.
