The beautiful girl below was chosen to participate in our town wide spelling bee. They picked twelve students per school, put them on two teams and then had the three elementary schools in our town compete again each other. Annie was chosen as the team captain and was pretty excited about that.
The format was different than most spelling bees (I'll explain verbally to anyone who cares to know, as it would take some time to explain here) and there were not words to study beforehand (they wanted them to focus more on the rules, which makes perfect sense because the English language is a stickler for the rules), but it was good. And Annie was darling and confident and did her best. Her team didn't end up winning, but we were sure happy to be there to cheer her on.
We sure L-O-V-E our Annie girl!
