Spelling galore

[glacier_kitty]

Yesterday the Literacy Council hosted the annual Biz Bee (a spelling bee). It was at the Westmark hotel literally just across the street from the apartment building haha (I can see it from my bedroom window). Score haha. It's our biggest fundraiser (we made over $22,000!!). 16 groups competed this year. I wrote down all the words and guessed at the spellings (my brain was DEAD by the end of the bee haha). The Literacy Council got out at the word "brachiate." I actually spelled it right! I'm thinking I should be a speller next year..my other coworkers thought so too. One of the words was "glaciarium" which is a fake ice floor of a skating rink. I was like ":D" haha. The winners were elementary school teachers from Denali Elementary! One of the people on the team was Hannah's mom..she told me her mom does the New York Times crossword in ink in 30 minutes! Wowww..so obviously she's very smart and showed it haha. I have pics which I shall post tomorrow

Aw that sounds great...$22,000 is an awful lot of money that you guys raised! Good for you...it sounds like you SHOULD be a speller for next year.

OMG...I can't imagine doing the New York Times crossword in that amount of time AND in ink...I am never that sure of myself with any crossword puzzles, let alone the New York Times haha.

I still remember you blogging about this last year :)
Sounds like it was a lot of fun...and Hannah's mom definitely seems like a really smart woman.
