2015 Spelling Bee

5/12/2015

By Br. Dino Dottori
This year, the popular event took place in the St Timothy Church Hall, on Tuesday, May 12.  Over sixty spectators, families of the participants, packed the church hall to cheer and support their candidates.   
Moderator, Brother Ken Moore said, "The teachers are to be commended this year for a very well prepared group of students."   

Nineteen students met the challenge, starting with words at the grade 6 level and reaching quickly into the grade 8 list. .  Finally, only two students remained standing to go another sixteen rounds until the winner was declared!  The winning word was "marriage" and the last word mis-spelled was "vegetable."  Brother Rod Gallant, a judge, said that this was one of the toughest spelling bees he has seen, and "the parents can be proud of all the children."  

The first place winner was Cole Purdell-Lewis from Maple Academy and the second place winner was Cindy Desjardins from Ecole Elementaire des Quartres.  Both winners received keeper plaques as well as cash prizes from Council 8851.  The event concluded with Brother Les Sabo, from Summit Books in Mono.

Our council Basketball Free-throw was on Saturday, January 17th, 2015 at Saint Andrews Catholic Elementary school in Orangeville.  


We had about 25 kids come out and participate. They all had a lot of fun and the event ran very smoothly.  We also had our finalists go on to the District level Free-throw in Alliston which resulted in three of them now moving on to the regionals!  

Thank you very much to Brother Peter Gilalfau for running and coordinating tournament!  Also, a huge thanks to all the brother Knights who made it out to help!
