Spelling Bee Champions!




Kailyn, her cousin Annsley, and her friend Rachel competed in a city wide spelling bee for 5th and 6th graders on Saturday and WON!
It was a team spelling bee. There were 30 teams in all representing different area schools. The girls studied hard for weeks (all 100 pages) and it paid off. It was a very exciting and intense afternoon. Some of the words they spelled right were "lieutenant", "nineties", and "quandary". The words they finally won with were "perpendicularly" and "relinquished". (I hope I spelled those right.)
