Spelling Bee Win

Just for fun...some photos from the spelling bee I entered at the seminary where I work.  Too small to be enlarged, but you get the idea.  Participants had to bring a donation for a local ministry site in Northeast KC, and if we missed a word, we were allowed one "bribe" to the judges to buy our way back in (bribes included brownies, candy, quarters, etc.).  Everybody got a prize, and a good time was had by all!

Spelling my first word.  The student on my right was knitting.  :)

The illustrious judges--one staff, one student, and our president.

p.s.  I don't always dress like that for work; it was my spelling outfit.
