Spelling Bee


This is the final round! The two previous rounds were paper and pencil tests. During those tests, we the audience were relegated to sitting in the parking lot under a canopy. They started with 28 contestants (2nd and 3rd graders). Now the final round is like jeopardy - they have a buzzer and a microphone. They get three points if they spell it correct. Livia (the first girl on the far left) was very quick with the buzzer, so she accumulated points quickly. Tasha, in the middle held her own. The other contestants barely hit the buzzer. The contest began at 8:30 in the morning and went until 3:00 in the afternoon.
