"P-e-r-f-e-c-t-i-o-n-i-s-m," spelled Lindy on February 5, 2013 to win the District Spelling Bee! Her daddy and I are very proud of her. Pictured with her are the 2nd and 3rd place winners (from Fulton City). In order to compete in the district bee, Lindy had to place in the top 3 in the Fulton County Middle School Spelling Bee. She did that, no problem. Actually, she placed 1st in the middle school bee. (Coming in 2nd for the middle school was another 7th grader and friend of Lindy's, Samantha McClure. Then 3rd place was taken by Connor Jackson, an 8th grader and friend of Taylor's.)
Not only that, but she also placed first in her grade (7th) to even compete in the school bee. Wow! And if that is not amazing enough, she also won the Spelling Bee last school year for the whole middle school while she was only in 6th grade. When she then went to compete at the district level, she placed 2nd. She was disappointed, so this year she made sure to place first. Now what? Well, tomorrow she will compete in Memphis at the Mid-South Spelling Bee sponsored by the Commerical Appeal.
She is a gifted speller, but I don't think she is too consumed with tomorrow's bee. We have heard that the people coming have spent hours and hours of practicing. . .a level she has no desire to get to. :) But today we will drive to Southaven, stay with friends, and tomorrow morning at 9:00 am let Lindy participate in an amazing opportunity for a middle schooler. I am proud of you, Lindy!
