On Sunday, November 5, the Cohasset Education Foundation (CEF) hosted its 10th annual Spelling Bee. 140 students from Deer Hill School’s third through fifth grades gathered to spell their hearts out in support of the CEF.
Teams of two students formed “hives” competing in rounds resulting in first, second and third place winners from each grade. Over the years, the Spelling Bee has become a much-loved tradition, generating a lot of “buzz” and excitement amongst the young participants. Teachers, school and town administrators and even the school resource officer volunteered their time as MCs, judges, and timekeepers.
A healthy spirit of competition and fun was palpable with team names ranging from “The Buzzer Bee-ters” to “Bee-tastic Spellers” showcasing their stellar spelling skills.
