Pima County Spelling Bee


This last saturday, February 18,2012, Damian competed in the Pima County Spelling Bee. It was held at the Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind (ASDB). He was given participant #5 and there were 45 competing. They didn't let us take pictures of the actual Bee but I took 1 before it started. Damian finished in 10th place out of 45 and we are proud of him. What an experience! He says he will win next year.
The next day we received a call that he was in the Sunday Arizona Daily Star newspaper. Here is the link.

BTW: the word he missed was aggregate (He spelled it too fast and left out a g)
