Brooke participated in her first Spelling Bee!
She passed round 1: elbow
She passed round 2: massive
And was out on round 3: perilous
The school had all grades compete together - so there were 8th graders doing the same words! All the 2nd grade remaining kids were also out with Brooke in round 3, as the words got increasingly hard.
We are so proud of her! After she passed the 1st round (which was a primary goal) the relief on her face was enough to know we had achieved success.
