2019 Trivia Bee

The Bee brought together 11 teams from around town to the high school to raise funds for a charitable cause while at the same time providing an evening of fun. The event raised $3,300 which will allow the SEF to fund future grants and programs that will benefit Southington children.

Southington’s CyberKnights, also called FIRST Robotics Team 195, kicked off the evening with a demonstration. The students explained how the highly dexterous student-controlled robot was designed especially for the season's competitions. The robot could change its height telescopically in order to grab objects at various heights, and even toss objects to hit targets. The team competes in the FIRST Robotics world championships and are consistently top finishers. The Southington Education Foundation is a proud sponsor of the CyberKnights.

Stephen Proffitt once again served as Bee Master along with Assistant Superintendent for Instruction and Learning, Steve Madancy. They kept the teams focused and the audience in stiches while asking the trivia questions. They acknowledged the efforts of the Trivia Bee committee and volunteers, judges Superintendent Timothy Connellan, Math Coordinator Amy Zappone and Language Arts Coordinator Stephanie Lawlor, as well as all who came out in support of education. Time and again, the two Steves complimented the contestants on their courage to publicly show their trivia prowess - or lack thereof.

"Sloper Scholars" (Tom Sangeloty, Justin Hubeny, Wendy Fisher, and Nick Charnysh) took home the trophy.
