Watertown students in grades 1 to 5 will test their spelling abilities at the third annual Town-Wide Spelling Bee to benefit the Watertown Education Foundation.

The fun begins at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 27 at Watertown Middle School.

Last year, the spelling bee raised about $15,000, which was handed out as part of the Watertown Education Foundation's grant programs. The money goes to teachers and others in the Watertown Public Schools to "fund a variety of innovative and creative educational initiatives and programs."
