"Sarsaparilla."
That was one of the spelling words local home school student Sarah Anne Allen was required to spell correctly on Thursday to advance in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, DC. I had to check behind myself typing "sarsaparilla" to be sure I had spelled it correctly on this post.
Congratulations to Sarah Ann, one of only two Virginia students to advance, as she moves into today's semifinals from 10 a.m until 1 p.m. to be broadcast on ESPN, followed by tonight's final round which can be seen on ABC.
The Waynesboro News Virginian's Megan Davis is following Sarah Anne -- thank you for taking an interest in academics -- and has a front page story detailing yesterday's proceedings. Stay tuned to what is happening by following updates on Twitter at www.Twitter.com/NewsVirginian and on the News Virginian website.
Spelling ... it's an adventure and Sarah Anne is enjoying the ride. Best wishes from the PEACH (Parent Educators of Augusta County) home schoolers for today's competition ... go, Sarah Ann, go!
