On behalf of the Whitman-Hanson Education Foundation, I would like to thank everyone that joined us on March 31 for our first annual Spelling Bee.
We had teams from Walker-Clay, Venus Cafe and the Old Colony YMCA competing against teams of parents, Representative Diehl’s Team Bee-Con Hill, the National Honor Society, DECA, Destination Imagination, WHRSD School Committee. Whitman Town Hall, WHRSD Administration and Rockland-Hanson Rotary as well as teams from the Duval, Maquan. Hanson Middle, Conley, and Indian Head schools. We were thrilled to see that teams truly embraced the call for costumes and we were amazed at the creativity of the teams competing for Best Costume. While there were many worthy contenders, ultimately, the Y’s Guys (from the Old Colony YMCA) won Best Costume. Josh Cutler’s team of Pepper Santalucia, Arlene Dias, Marianne DiMascio, Cathy DiPasqua-Egan, Joe Pelligra and Josh Cutler won the Spelling Bee itself by spelling “onomatopoeia” correctly. A special thanks to the WHRSD and its staff for helping us ensure that everything went smoothly and to Hanson Middle School’s Principal Martin Geoghegan and Stephen Kemmett for their willingness to take on the difficult task of pronouncer. In addition, would like to express our gratitude to School Committee Chairman Bob Hayes for being our Master of Ceremonies and Juanita Brunelle, Jan Horkey, Nancy Florence and Hanson Selectman Jim Egan for being judges. By any measure, this event was a huge success and we want to thank everyone who participated, attended or volunteered for bringing it to fruition! Proceeds from this event will fund grants in all of the Whitman-Hanson schools grade pre K-12. Please visit our Web site at wheducationfoundation.org for more information about our grants or about our organization. New members are always welcome.
