St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office participates in Rotary Club Spelling Bee
The St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office participated in the 25th Annual Rotary Club Corporate Spelling Bee held Feb. 6 in the Chalmette High School cafeteria, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.
The Sheriff’s Office team was composed of from, left: Detective Thomas Gai and Detective Sgt. Brad Alfonso, both of the Criminal Investigations Bureau, and Public Information Officer Kim Gritter.
The PBF Energy team took home bragging rights as this year’s best spellers and first place winners. Second place went to the Blue Williams LLC, and a team from the St. Bernard School Board took third place.
Each year, for $300, teams of three people from local businesses, organizations and public offices are invited by the Rotary Club to participate in a fun competition and help raise money for a worthy cause. Refreshments are sold, and there are raffles and door prizes.
This year’s Spelling Bee was once again dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. Les Scharfenstein, a long-time educator and member of the Rotary Club.
