Belmont Savings Bank again sponsored the Watertown Education Foundation Spelling Bee on Sunday, January 25 at the Watertown Middle School. The Bank provided the Foundation with a $4,000 check for the Watertown Education Rewards Checking account.
Students in kindergarten through fifth grade showed off their spelling skills during the competition. Belmont Savings staff was on hand meeting with parents, and spoke with them about supporting Watertown Public Schools. The Bank raffled off a Kindle Fire at their table.
This was the fifth year of the spelling bee in Watertown.
