Hopkinton Community Spelling Bee LogoFor the second year, the Hopkinton Parent Teacher’s Association (HPTA) and the Hopkinton Education Foundation (HEF) teamed up to raise money for the Hopkinton Public Schools. All pencils were at the ready on November 14th as 24 teams competed for bragging rights as the Second Annual Community Spelling Bee Champions (not to mention the promise of being able to take home those great boggle head trophies). Brian Herr, a STAR REALTY client and Hopkinton’s current Chairman of the Board of Selectman, volunteered (with some coaxing) to MC the event. Judges were Dr. Jack Phelan, Superintendant of Schools; Ruth Ann Cote, former HEF President, and Patty Doshier, Co-President of the HPTA. Thanks to the diligent efforts of the organizing committee and the generosity of local businesses and organizations, over $6500 was raised to benefit the Hopkinton Public Schools.

New this year was a mini spelling bee competition for elementary aged childen in the audience.  Students from Center, Elmwood, and Hopkins Schools Elisa Gahinet competes in the Hopkins School mini beewere read a list of age-appropriate words by their respective principals.  Winner word lists were entered for a prize drawing.

STAR REALTY is proud to have once again been the “Big Honey” sponsor of this event. It is one of the few in town that welcomes participation from ALL of the organizations and businesses. This year we had teams ranging from the Hopkinton Garden Club to the Senior Center, and the Hopkinton Police to the Youth Commission. The winners were the team put forth by the Hopkinton School Committee. They battled with the HPTA team in the final round and pulled ahead with the correct spelling of LEITMOTIF. Winning Word

And now, the official word: We at STAR REALTY are delighted to sponsor the Hopkinton Community Spelling Bee to benefit the innovative and enriching programs brought to our public schools by the HEF & the HPTA. Hopkinton: it’s where we live, where we work, and where we give back.
