One child from each of the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade classes in the school competed to be in the finals several weeks ago and Cameron made it through from his class qualifier.
In all, 20 kids competed over several rounds, each taking turns to spell words from a list which had been given to them about 4 weeks ago.
Cameron worked hard with Genevieve and I over the last week to learn the word list and was all ready for the competition today.
I think in the end, Genevieve was way more nervous than Cameron was. But as Genevieve's Mum, Jane, said "There is some sort of sweet justice in Genevieve having to go through this" since Genevieve was often involved in these types of things at school as a kid and put her Mum in this very same situation on many occasions! LOL!
Cameron took his time, concentrated and ended up in 3rd place in the whole school!!!!
We are all very proud of him and he is even more proud of himself.

Hooray for Cameron! What a great job you did. And Gen and Kenny all of your hard work paid off as well.
The girls look so cute in their sweaters, Kenny's mom did such a beautiful job. I love Mac's hair; it makes her look so grown up. Scarlett is gorgeous; keep the pictures coming!
