Our programs include one-on-one tutoring, English for Life and Family READS programs, our GED and U.S. Citizenship preparation classes, and Basic Computer Skills drop-in hours.
The Scrabble Tournament features exciting play and great fun, as well as delicious heavy hors d’oeuvres; a cash bar will be available.
Cost is $120 per team. Individuals may register for $45 and will be placed with a team.
Play is team-based, with three people per team and all levels of Scrabble players are encouraged to join in (you can choose to be paired with “competitive” or “just for fun” teams).
There are two rounds of 45-minute games; play will be completed at 8 p.m. with an awards and prize presentation to follow. Prizes are awarded for: Tournament Champions, Round One Winners, Round Two Winners, Most Creative Team Name and Highest Scoring Word.
