Scripts Spelling Bee

The Scripts Spelling Bee is the one that is on ESPN every May.  To get the finalist for the May Bee each state holds a state spelling bee.   Each school that chooses to participate can send one person to the state bee.  To be chosen for your school you have to take a written test. The top five scores from the written test get to do a spelling bee to determine the winner.  Well Madison was the winner from our school and went to the state spelling bee in early March.  She took seventh place in the state. She got out on the word yield when she switched the e and i around.  She had some really tough words to spell and I kept thinking that she was going to be out with everyone she was given but to my surprise she lasted though 10 or 11 rounds.  One round took many of the contestants out and some rounds took no one out.  I was really pleased with how well she did.
