Spelling Bee in…Billerica??
BILLERICA — Some of the town’s brightest young spellers are getting ready to compete in Billerica’s first townwide spelling bee tomorrow.
Earlier this year, Michael Moore and his wife, Denise, wondered why there is no opportunity for a Billerica student to participate in a spelling bee. So the couple set the wheels in motion to stage one.
The daylong event kicks off at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow inside the Maurice A. Buck Auditorium at Town Hall. There will be 82 participants, from grades 3-8.
This has got to be decisive blow to those out there that don’t believe in evolution. An actual spelling bee, with actual words, featuring actual Bill-ricans…in Billerica no less. Sure, someone will undoubtedly fashion together some hastily made dirt bike ramps to kill time between rounds, but progress is progress. One small step for man, one giant step for, well, you get the picture.
