For the second year in a row, Mason got to participate in the school spelling bee. Last year he came in first, but this year he was disappointed because he only got 2nd place. However, it was a pretty intense match between him and the other guy. Usually the school spelling bee lasts about 45 minutes. This one went for an hour and a half because the last 3 students were spelling all the words correctly. Mason had to spell probably 40 words compared to last year when he won it only spelling 15. It was much more of a challenge this year. But he spelled some amazing words. Words I have no idea their meaning or correct pronunciation. He misspelled the word "recherche." I do not know what that word means, nor do I care to ever look up the definition. I did have to look up the pronunciation when we were studying it, though. These boys were spelling words on the 12th grade list. Even though he came in second place this year, Mason put in some amazing effort to make it this far. I am impressed with the words he was able to spell. Mason should be proud of his efforts and spelling ability.
