Annual Spelling Bee in Canton MA is this Friday

spelling beeI wrote earlier this year about the great works of the Canton Alliance for Public Education otherwise known as CAPE. One of their biggest fundraisers, the Spelling Bee was supposed to be held on January 21st.  Like everything else this winter, it had to be canceled due to snow.  So the new date for the Spelling Bee is this Friday, February 18th, starting at 6 pm at Canton High's Morse Auditorium.

It is a team competition and teams from the elementary schools, them middle school and high school will all compete, with winners in each age/grade category.  After a short break, there will be the adult competition with teams made up of teachers, administrators, parents, Girl Scout leaders and various other community groups.

It is definitely a fun and feel-good event, with all proceeds going to support the grants that CAPE awards each year to support new and innovative programs in our public schools.  Hopefully the change in date will not dampen the enthusiasm for this annual event.

Christine~ I think that the words that children can spell during these events are amazing! If it were not for "spell check" I would be in trouble! LOL

I remember the spelling bee being so much fun. A really good thing about it is that kids learn to love words, spelling and reading at a very young age.

Spelling bees are not always easy.  Having to envision the written word isn't always easy.  I wish them all good luck. :) Gail

Melissa, Charita & Gail....thanks for the comments!  It is a team format so they get to write the words down (a little easier).  And, then watching the adults compete is funny too....sometimes I think they should put the kids up against the adults!

Oh, and my 7th grader is on the 7th Grade Team so I will be there proudly watching!

Valerie....luckily for these kids it is a team format (5 to a team), all teams get the same word at the same time & then they get to write it down rather than say it.  A little less pressure.  And, it's all for fun & charity.
