Highlights from the 2011 DEF Spelling BEE

There is no denying it, with 44 teams vying for the title of  2011 DEF Spelling Bee Champs other wise known as The Best Spellers in Dartmouth, the second annual DEF Spelling Bee was an even greater success then the first!  The School Committee team put forth a valiant effort to defend their 2010 title but were dethroned by the Spellcheicks who had to fend off the amazing spelling of our National Honor Society Students!

Above are some highlights if you missed it.  Check the DCTV schedule to view the event in it’s entirety.

The DEF would like to thank all of the team sponsors, team participants, and sponsors of the evening.  Without your generous support the event and all of the wonderful activities, technology, etc. could never be given to the Dartmouth Public Schools.  Thank you again for helping us to give that extra something that is needed for the children in the Dartmouth Public Schools!
