The Bee’s Knees trophy is up for grabs again this month.
Thomas J. Rusk’s community-wide spelling bee is April 7; doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and the spelling bee gets underway at 6 p.m.
The fundraiser benefits student learning excursions during the school year as well as positive incentives for students and teachers.
TJR is recruiting teams from the community for the spelling bee. Entry is $250 for a team of three and $200 for each additional team.
For the most part, the spelling bee follows Scripps-Howard Spelling Bee rules but the main purpose of the event is an evening of community fun. Prizes will be awarded in categories – best spellers, best costume and most spirited – and “passes” will be available for a small fee, if needed, to keep your team alive.
