Marshall County Spelling Bee this Saturday at Rust College

Spelling champions from all over Marshall County will face off for the number one title in the Marshall County Spelling Bee that will be held Saturday, Jan. 27, at 10 a.m. in the Doxey Building at Rust College.

The purpose of the bee is to choose the spelling champion from area schools, both public and private, that will represent Marshall County in the Mid-South Spelling Bee in Memphis, Tenn., in March 2007.

All public and private schools in Marshall County are invited to participate in the spelling bee. Each school has been asked to send a representative from grades 5-8 to compete in the spelling bee. School supporters, relatives and friends are encouraged to come and support their school representatives. This year, a Spirit Award will be given to the school that has the most supporters. The public is also invited.

The Holly Springs-Marshall County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. is the proud sponsor of the annual Marshall County Spelling Bee.
