On Tuesday March 16, 2010, four of my students formed a team to become the Prowling Panthers at the Eden Chamber of Commerce's Annual Spellin' Bee. I was very proud of the students who competed against other teams formed by local business owners. All funds raised from the event went to fund scholarships for Morehead High School seniors who plan to attend Rockingham Community College. We had a great time representing our school and taking part in this community event!
Although we learned that for fundraisers, a budget is often more useful than brains, students gave the adults a run for their money by correctly spelling words like antidisestablishmentarianism. Can you spell that off the top of your head? No dictionaries were allowed, and teams were only given three "free" misses!
A special thank you to following sponsors of the Prowling Panthers: Judith Warren Boutique and Bridal, Eden Drug, Lisa Doss at Eden's Own Journal, and one anonymous donor. Thank you for you support and the opportunity to participate in this event!
