Spelling Bee

McKenna qualified for her school spelling bee which was for all 4th 5th and 6th graders. Out of all the students (in those 3 grades)about 40 qualified for the school's spelling bee.

She was extremely nervous, as you can see in these pictures. In fact, she didn't even really want to end up in the school competiton, and almost threw her qualifying round because of it.

However, through this she has learned that "I can do hard things." It's been a good experience for her. And the best news is... She ended up placing 6th overall! She was surprised she made it that far, and was definitely relieved and smiling afterward.

We are so proud of her! Way to go McKenna!

(These pics aren't the greatest, I was using my zoom and was way at the back of the gym. But you get the idea.)
