Allison in the Spelling Bee

Allison was selected as one of 3 contestants to represent the 4th grade in the Schweinfurt Elementary School Spelling Bee of 2011! Allison practiced, practiced and practiced her spelling words. She studied the spelling words from 1st grade to 8th grade. On January 25th Allison was nervous and excited! The day of the Spelling Bee was finally here! I was able to attend the Spelling Bee, but Philip had to stay home with Moriah. The Spelling Bee judges asked that younger siblings not attend because complete silence was needed during the contest. Allison's first word was clearance . She misspelled it :(  After the first round the contestants who misspleed words were asked to step off the stage. I gave Allison a HUGE, LONG hug and told her how proud I was of all she learned over the weeks. She studied a lot! Allison and I stayed and watched the rest of the Spelling Bee together. Good job Allison! We are sooo proud of you!!
