PHILIPSBURG:--- The Rotary Club of St. Maarten Mid Isle is pleased to announce that Scotiabank has once more committed to being the main sponsor of the annual Scotiabank Rotary Rotaract Spelling Bee for elementary school students.
The objective of this project is to improve literacy and enhance the educational experience of our youngsters. With Scotiabank’s commitment, The Rotary Club of St. Maarten Mid Isle feels confident that this year’s Spelling Bee will be successful once more. The winning participants as well as the winning schools always receive great prizes. Additionally, each school that participates receives a prize just for participation. This prize is submitted on a wish list when the school signs up for the Spelling Bee. The Rotary Club of St. Maarten Mid Ilse is offering additional help with the preparation of the students this year, schools can sign up for Rotarians to assist the students to learn the words which will give them a better chance to advance to the second and third round.
The Scotiabank Rotary Rotaract Spelling Bee will take place on October 16, 23 and 30 in the Belair Community Center. Three students from Anguilla participated in last year’s event and Mid Isle is looking forward to their participation again this year as well as the possible participation of students from other neighboring islands. The spelling Bee is a fun, competitive way of learning for the youngsters.
The Rotary Club of St. Maarten Mid Isle would like to thank all of the businesses who have shown confidence in us and have already contributed towards this event, especially Scotiabank.
