The Montoya's

After finishing in the top 12 at her school spelling bee, Emma moved on to the district spelling bee which was held at my school. This spelling bee was made up of the top 30 spellers for the district, with a little bit harder words. Emma make it through more than 10 rounds before misspelling the word "eight". She was so nervous as soon as she got the word. She was able to come up with "ei" but could not remember the rest. Her leg was tapping and she was trying so hard to come up with the correct spelling...she looked so cute down there on a stage in a big auditorium in front of a ton of people she did not know. She placed 7th overall. You are an amazing girl, Emma. I am really proud of you!
