The PAC was abuzz last Thursday for The DEF Spelling Bee!

The event was a great success raising $15,000 to fund innovative programs for the Duxbury Schools. 

View our photo album and see what the buzz is all about!


Thirty-four three-person teams competed in a variety of age categories called Hives and stunned the crowd with their spelling prowess.   The spectacular setting complete with fabulous costumes, hive lighting, and lots of black and yellow, set the stage for participants to challenge themselves and each other with words like senator, serendipitous and mnemonic.

Spelling Bee judges Christopher Trombly and Deborah Zetterberg let teams 1 & 2 know they've spelled the word correctly!
