What a night! We loved seeing our Dedham community come out to watch and support all the many DPS students who participated in this year’s DEF’s Spelling BEE! 🐝

Congratulations to all of the participants in the 30th annual fundraiser benefiting Dedham Public School Students ✨ It is always a treat getting to watch these students shine and be great examples of teamwork.

Such a wonderful night of community and support for our schools! Thank you to our sponsors, teachers, families, superintendent, and YOU! This event wouldn’t be possible without your help and participation.

DEF is already looking forward to next year!
