The ADPR Spelling Bee Team of Lariscy, Reber and Smith dazzled the competition at the Athens Charity Spelling Bee today.
Fresh off the BlackBerry from Athens Tech...our roving reporter, Dr. A sends in this report.
"1st word: aardvark. They did perfect!!!"
"The team was eliminated in the 9th round leaving on stage only 2 teams." The ADPR team was "awesome. The word that got them was 'Khartoum' the capital of Sudan."
Signing off from Athens Tech, Dr. A
The team leader, Give-Me-That-Mulligan-NOw Dr. Lariscy said "We had a ball! The best thing, you know, is that we were the #2 team in fundraising---we collected $500 for the illiteracy battles in Athens Clarke County---they were really pleased and surprised that a 'first year team' would raise so much, and subsequently, do so well!"
Go Grady!

Thanks too to Carolina for her on-the-scene reporting.

I searched "aardvark" on the English-Korean dictionary. The dictionary had the word but I didn't even know what it was in Korean. Khartoum? No way.. haha.. :D
Congratulations and Thanks!
