Ashton took 2nd place in her class spelling bee. She then went on to take 3rd place in her grade spelling bee. This qualified her for the school spelling bee. Their were 12 kids between the 4th-8th grades. Ashton studied very hard and when the day came we were all very nervous. As she began I prayed that she would just not get out on the first round but then she just kept getting word after word right. The words they had to spell were so difficult. Some of the words were baccalaureate, dishabille, obfuscate, staphylococci, impecunious and effervescent. Student after student misspelled words and got out. It finally came down to 4 students(2 8th graders, a 6th grader and Ash) they went several rounds and finally Ashton misspelled a word. 4th place in the entire school! Her whole class cheered so loudly, in fact, the whole 5th grade cheered for her. She was amazing!

Impressive, what a little smartie!
I remember babysitting Ashton and Kye when Ash was either in Kindergarten or 1st Grade. I could not get her to practice her spelling words that week for her test on Friday. I tried everything and finally gave up. You have come along ways!! I think you are pretty amazing too. I love you,

Go Ashton!
