STORM

We are excited to announce the 2026 Regional Qualifier of the Scripps National Spelling Bee! Since 1925, children across America have participated in classroom, school and regional spelling bees with the hope of making it to the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The winner goes to Nationals in Washington DC where the competition will be broadcast live on ESPN! The @albanytroylionsclub is joining forces with The RED Bookshelf to host the Regional competition again this year. Students from all over will visit Albany to compete. This year, we worked directly with local schools like Giffen elementary and more, to make sure that our local spellers were involved and had the opportunity to compete. Send us a message if you'd like to donate, volunteer or help spread the word. We want each speller to see an audience of people who are there to root for them and encourage them. We are stronger together! Show our students some love and find out who our next Regional champion will be! #Lions #15Minutes #ReadEachDay

STORM ⛈️. x @therepalbany ! I had the pleasure to read a book for STORY TIME at Cap Rep Theatre! As a former Cap Rep STAR kid (best theatre camp ever) it was truly a full circle moment!! There were so many wonderful families and organizations there, I was overwhelmed with the excitement and joy! 🥰 At the end of the Story time, we closed with a song and then the kids were lined up to meet Santa and get hot chocolate! Truly a magical moment. 💫
