2008 Spelling Bee a Rousing Success
The 2008 Shining Star Spellers: Emma, Mariah, Ally, and Danielle
On Saturday, February 9th, 2008, the Belmont High School auditorium was abuzz with students eagerly awaiting the Foundation's 2008 Annual Youth Spelling Bee. More than 430 spellers, who formed themselves into such creatively-named teams as the Magic Monkeys, Girl Power, and Bee-ware, each contributed $25 towards the Foundation's efforts to "Making a Difference" in the Belmont Public Schools. Local businesses, including Lawndale Realty, Belmont Toys, Tile Showcase, Hammond Residential, Cambridge Savings Bank, The Spirited Gourmet, Prudential Realty, A Chocolate Dream, and Brothers Pizza played a very significant part in helping to make this year's Bee a financial success. The collective effort paid off: the Foundation anticipates netting nearly $14,000 from the 2008 Youth Bee, which will be distributed through the schools in the form of Learning Excellence Grants.
