I am SO PROUD

of my girl. Abby placed third in the regional spelling bee about a month ago and this Saturday was in the State Spelling Bee. We were so excited because the three places in her regional group were all held by girls from her school, and not only that - they were all in the same class. They worked so hard and have such wonderful teachers, both the classroom teacher and the gifted and talented coordinator. Abby finished very strongly in the state bee, about 17th out of 52 qualifiers; 36 actually competed on Saturday. We are thrilled with what she accomplished, and equally thrilled for her friend who placed Second in the state for their grade level. Excellent job, girls!!!
