‘Irresistible,’ ‘garrulous’ and ‘flamboyant’ were just a few of the 15 words teams were tasked with spelling at this year’s adult team spelling bee. In the end, only one team had a perfect score — last year’s defending champions, the TRU Spellcats. But everyone was happy to be supporting the kick off event for the Raise a Reader campaign in Kamloops that raises funds to support local literacy programs year-round.
The event, partly sponsored by New Gold, Kamloops Delta and Pattison Media is always a fun morning of friendly rivalry and team building. Our thanks to the following teams for participating: Pattison Media & Twin Rivers Education Centre, Interior Community Services, New Gold, Rotary Club of Kamloops West, Rotary Club of Sun Peaks, Rotary Club of Kamloops Aurora Centennial & Rotary Club of Kamloops, Rotary Club of Kamloops Daybreak, School District No.73, Book Club, Urban Systems, Interior Savings, TRU Spellcats, Edward Jones & Christie Duo, The Elderberries, City of Kamloops, and CML Properties.
We look forward to welcoming you all back in May 2025!
