We are immensely proud of Sage. A few weeks ago, he won his class spelling bee with the word “enormous.” He’s an excellent speller, so we weren’t surprised. We were surprised, however, when Sage told us he did not want to be in the school spelling bee to represent his class. He said he was, “scared to be in front of the whole school and mess up.” We had a long talk and Jared reminded Sage that the only way to overcome your fears is to face them. So, Sage agreed to be in the school spelling bee.
Last week was the school bee and Sage did great! He made it to the 6th round and was the last third grader left. He incorrectly spelled the word “residential.” But, he handled it with grace and poise. He was so brave and we are so very proud!
