For the last couple of years, Bill has really wanted Caitlyn to enter the local spelling bee, but has left the final decision up to her. She is a naturally good speller, but extremely shy. The idea of standing in front of people and spelling did not appeal to her.

This year, she bravely stepped out of her comfort zone and tried it. She studied a lot. Yesterday was the bee. There were several kids who all did good jobs. Caitlyn did a good job, too, and won!

Congratulations, Caitlyn!

Next stop, the regional bee in February.
