Insider’s Guide to the 2015 Scripps National Spelling Bee – Send-off Party!

This week was very exciting for me because I was interviewed by Melissa Swan of WHAS11-TV for the evening news. My school also surprised me with a send-off party, which included chocolate ice cream and an original song written and performed by the elementary school students. I felt really honored when I received a gigantic poster made by my wonderful English teacher and signed by lots of students and teachers. I love everyone at my school because they all support me and are so thoughtful.

Bee Week starts tomorrow and I can’t wait!
