Teams from Sudbury, Wayland and Weston will vie for the League of Women Voters trophy in the sixth annual Civics Bee Sunday, March 30. The teams, comprised of three middle school students, three high school students, and three adults from each town, will demonstrate their knowledge in the competition, sponsored by the Leagues in the three towns.

The Bee’s theme this gubernatorial election year will be state government, but topics will include the histories of the three towns, all of which have recent major anniversaries of their founding: Weston’s 300th anniversary in 2013, Wayland’s 375th anniversary in 2013-14, and Sudbury celebration in 375th anniversary in 2014. The main focus of the Civics Bee remains to challenge the teams’ overall knowledge of federal, state and local government.

The Civics Bee will be Sunday, March 30, at 2 p.m., at Curtis Middle School, 22 Pratts Mill Rd. in Sudbury. It is free, and the public is encouraged to come and cheer for their town. The League of Women Voters of Sudbury is this year’s host.

The Bee Master, or moderator, will be Jo-Ann Berry, co-chair of the Acton Area League. Richard Albert, assistant professor at Boston College Law School, a specialist in constitutional law, democratic theory and comparative constitutional law, will again be the judge.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization which encourages informed and active participation in government and works to increase understanding of major public policy issues.
