Elementary Spelling Bee

Nick's elementary school Spelling Bee was really great! His kids performed well, but didn’t get ranked in the competition. We thought it was going to be a pretty boring competition and weren’t really looking forward to it. But it was really, really fun and the kids loved it. They held the competition at one of the fancy hotels in an air-conditioned conference room. There were microphones and podiums and a judges’ table and everything. It was a great experience for the kids.

Rob’s student from the outer island of Angaur won, and Rob got to take him to Guam to compete in the U.S. Spelling Bee. It's so exciting for the kids that don't even get to leave their islands on a boat very often, to come into Koror for the competition. But then to win and get to leave the country on an airplane!?! That's awesome. Everyone was happy for Tsun. (Especially Rob.)
