Celebrity Spelling Bee

MV had the opportunity to participate in a Celebrity Spelling Bee last night to benefit a local organization called Finding Balance.  There were ten 5th graders who went up against ten celebrities in a fun spelling competition.  The contestants could choose from 5th grade words (1 pt), adult  words (2 pts) or zinger words (5 pts).  MV spelled all of her 5th grade words correct, but another boy who spelled an adult word won the bee for some pretty cool prizes! 

MV's favorite part of the bee was hanging with the celebrities.  She got to sit with Tenth Avenue North, who sang "You Are More" and "Healing Begins" for us.  And, her favorite part was meeting Jamie Grace !  We all had a fun time watching the friendly competition on stage and listening to some pretty cool music!
