Columbia Park Elementary students got a spelling lesson on the way to school today.

The company responsible for painting the lines on the road misspelled ‘school’ as ‘scohol.’

Whoops!

Their mistake has gone viral around Revelstoke. When I showed up to take a picture, a couple showed up in their car to snap their own photo.

The poor guy who did this must be in hiding 😂 #revelstoke

Darren Komonoski, the public works manager for the City of Revelstoke, said the sign would likely be fixed today.
