   SPELLING BEE

 

 

On November 20th, 2010  from 4-7 PM the Whitman-Hanson Education Foundation will be holding its first annual Adult Spelling Bee in the Whitman-Hanson Regional High School’s Performing Arts Center. We are hoping that this event will bring our diverse community together for a wonderful fundraising event. Businesses, PTOs, neighborhood and community groups, town and public safety organizations, are all encouraged to form teams and/or to sponsor teams of up to eight Spellers. Competition will be intense to win the coveted Bee trophy as well as the prize for best costume.

 

How does the Adult Spelling Bee work?

Teams of eight adults compete against each other in "swarms" of up to eight teams. There will be up to eight swarms in a Bee.  The winner of each swarm will then compete in the Championship Swarm.  For details, see the Whitman-Hanson Education Foundation Spelling Bee Rules, Team Procedures, Instructions for Pronouncers and Judges. 

 

How do I sign up for the Adult Spelling Bee?

Teams can be sponsored by individuals, groups, and businesses. Sponsors can pull together their own team members or sponsor another group of individuals such as the Police Department or Fire Department, reading groups, neighborhood groups, sports groups, school groups, clergy, etc.,..  All sponsors are listed in the program.  The entry fee for each team is $150 and is tax-deductible. To enter, print and send an Adult Entry Form to Whitman-Hanson Education Foundation , PO Box 270, Whitman, MA 02382.  Please call us at (781) 294-1261 or email us at info@wheducationfoundation.org with any questions.
