Yes, I am bragging!

Each year students in grades (4-8th) compete at a county spelling bee. From our school of 700 we could only send two competitors. Through a rigorous elimination process, and a series of tryouts, finally the two members of the team were announced today- Sarana and Kailtyn! Sarana scored 50/50 on her final tryout with Kaitlyn only slightly behind her. With just helping them study I learned some new words! Tryout words included things such as: rendezvous, lieutenant, streusel, croissant, percocious, renaissance, etc. (Hope I spelled those right! lol) Anyway, we are extremely proud of them and will certainly be cheering on the McDaniel & McDaniel team at the county spelling bee!

This is Sarana making a presentation to the school board as a representative of a committee she was on. As student body president she was asked to be a student representative to a committee of staff, parents, and community members undergoing the process of selecting a name for the new school being built in the district. Sarana was asked to present on the process that the committee underwent. Although she was nervous she did an excellent job.
