Educational Foundation again hosting Champion Spelling Bee

The Daingerfield Lone
Star Educational Foundation
will once again be hosting its
Annual Spelling be on Jan.
27.
The Spelling Bee serves as
a fundraiser for the
Foundation, which uses the
proceeds to fund teacher
grants. In 2015, the
Foundation funded teacher
grants that totaled over
$13,000. Those grants then
benefit the teachers and students
in Daingerfield-Lone
Star ISD.
Teams consist of three
members and one alternate,
and the entry fee is $25.
Anyone interested in placing
a team in the Spelling Bee
must submit an entry form
to Texas Heritage National
Bank by Friday, Jan. 20.
Teams are also invited to
bring their cheering squad,
as the 2017 Spirit Award will
be up for grabs. This award
will be given to the most
innovative and enthusiastic
cheering squad, and table
decorations are encouraged
and included in the judging.
The Spelling Bee will be
held at the Daingerfield
High School Cafeteria, and
will begin with a meal at 6
p.m. Tickets will be available
at the door for $10 for adults
and $5 for students 12 and
under. The Spelling Bee will
follow the meal. For more
information, contact Linda
Johnston at Texas Heritage
National Bank, at 903-645-
2251.
