| (Kingston, May 12th, 2006) The results are
in, and after an evening of incredible spelling and fun, here are the
results of Kingston Literacy’s 12th Annual Grate Groan-Up Spelling Bee: Best Spellers: Skeleton Park Skeletomologists (Skot Caldwell, Steven Heighton, Adam Newman) Best Speller Runners-Up: Kingston Frontenac Public Library (Sara Carpenter, Wilma Kenny, Christina Tracy) Best Team Spirit: Frontenac Secondary School (Winter Pearl Tekenos-Levy, Sarah Taslimi, Heather Yates) Best Costumes: TD Canada Trust (Shannon Falcao, Harriet Johnston, Jean Roff) Most Pledges Raised: TD Canada Trust (Shannon Falcao, Harriet Johnston, Jean Roff) Amount Raised for Kingston Literacy’s Family Literacy Programs: $17,020.75 Bizarre quirk of fate of the evening: Best-selling author Steven Heighton was a part of the team of Best Spellers. One week from the night of the Bee, on Thursday May 18th, at 7 p.m., Steven Heighton will be the focus of another Kingston Literacy fundraising event when he does a reading in the Wilson Room at the downtown branch of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library, while Card’s Bakery will provide incredible desserts for intermission. Tickets for this event are $15, and are available in advance at Indigo Books and Music, or at the door while they last. For more info on any of the above, please contact Martha at Kingston Literacy at (613) 547-2012. |
