Tutor on Wheels, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the extracurricular literacy of youth in the GTA, hosted its fourth annual spelling bee that kicked off in April and culminated with the competition’s finale at Vellore Village Community Centre on June 14. Deputy mayor of Vaughan Gino Rosati, regional councillor Deb Schulte and York Region District School Board (YRDSB) trustee Carol Chan were in attendance to show their support for the young competitors, who represented different schools from across the GTA and were divided into two categories: junior (students in Grades 3 to 5) and senior (students in Grades 6 to 8). Kent Murray of St. Veronica Catholic ES won the senior division prize of $150 in cash, a medal and a certificate, while the junior winner, Viren Mehta of Burnhamthorpe Public School, won $100, a medal and a certificate.
