round advancing to the finals. During each round, every team was given the same word to spell correctly within twenty seconds. Misspelled words resulted in immediate elimination unless no other team spelled the word correctly. Additional words were provided until only one team remained. In the end, the seventh grade students named, “The Word Warriors,” claimed first place by correctly spelling “languorous.” The team included Aayush Kumar, Alexander Krolewski and Dylan Burke. They were each awarded a $50 gift card to 110 Grill plus a $50 gift card to Apex Entertainment for their achievement. The event began with a tribute to Debbie Giroux, a tireless CSF supporter, who passed away last year. She was a lifelong Marlborough resident, business owner, and active volunteer, having served as CSF President and Vice President and on several committees. “Debbie always put in more than one-hundred percent effort in securing sponsors for our events,” CSF Co-Founder Mary Jo Nawrocki said. Nawrocki also
noted that she was very grateful for the kindness of business owners and individuals in Marlborough who have generously supported CSF scholarships over the years. “Debbie just had a special way of getting people to join in,” CSF’s Mariym Snediker added. “She gave her whole heart and soul to CSF.” Snediker and Giroux had been close friends ever since high school. “Anybody who ever met Debbie felt like she was their best friend,” Snediker continued. The Scholar Bee was sponsored by Joseph Shay, Jr., Milford Stone and Affiliates. The emcee for the evening was Bob Socci, radio voice of the New England Patriots on 98.5 FM, the “Sports Hub.” Judges included Advanced Math and Science Academy (AMSA) Assistant Principal Amanda Cence, AMSA Principal Mike Nawrocki, and Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School Principal Mark Hollick.
