Southington Education Foundation 

Sixth Annual Community Spelling Bee 

April 21, 7 PM  at Southington High School

Bee Master will be Steve Proffitt    

Help the Southington Education Foundation spell “excellence” for the community’s school children. The 6th Annual SEF Community Spelling Bee will convey bragging rights to the team that wins the coveted title of SEF Spelling Champion. Last year, the ‘Wanna Bees’, with Dave Pestillo, Joe Peccerillo, and John Zimmerman won that honor. It is now time to put them to the challenge. Who will win the trophy this year?

Each team will consist of three spellers. Costumes, themes, and mascots are encouraged! Participants will write their words on a white board. There will be no microphone for participants. (Take a look at some of our past Spelling Bees to see what to expect.)On Thursday, April 21, at 7 p.m. teams made up of local citizens, politicians, businesses, educators, police, fire, and other public officials will compete. The event will be held at the Southington High School Auditorium and the proceeds will help foster educational excellence for our town’s public school children.

Participation is $100 per person or $300 per team. Entry fees are fully tax deductible.

Spectators: Admission is free, however, we ask that you bring a nonperishable food item as a donation to Southington Community Services.
Since its inception in 2009, the Southington Education Foundation has awarded over $170,000 in grants. Money raised from this Spelling Bee will continue to support grant opportunities and the mission of the SEF.
So organize your team today! Be part of the fun!

Registration deadline is April 7. Registrations accepted beyond that date may not appear in the event program.
