SEF Spelling Bee Challenges the Community - April 30, 2015

The Southington Education Foundation is conducting its 5th Annual Spelling Bee on Thursday, April 30, 2015 at 7:00 pm in the Southington High School Auditorium. This spelling challenge is part of SEF's vision of instilling the love of learning.

About the event: 
  • Teams will consist of three spellers. 
  • Costumes, themes and mascots are encouraged to add color and spirit to the competitive pursuit of excellence.
  • The excitement and anticipation of a spelling bee raises awareness to the value and pride and importance 
  • Entry fees: $100 pp, ($300 per team), are fully tax deductible. 
  • Admission is free. SEF asks that attendees bring a nonperishable food item as a donation to Southington Community Services.
  • Proceeds will be used to help foster educational excellence for our town’s public school children.
Get started promptly. Organizing a team today.

Entry forms are available online at www.southingtoneducationfoundation.org. 

Non-participants who would like to support the Spelling Bee may mail a gift check to Southington Education Foundation, PO Box 42. Southington, CT 06489.
