Tomorrow is the Lafeyette Spelling Bee! It is the final year for the girls – M's 3rd and A's 2nd. They've been studying and practicing a lot, and we have our fingers crossed that they will get words they have heard before!

Some of their favorite words to practice:

whippoorwill

synecdoche

vis-a-vis

exuberant

Naugahyde

Machiavellian

kraken

pusillanimous

nitty gritty

Rorschach

Sisyphean

We hope they don't get: nigh, affluent and radical, but if they do, they will know how to spell them!
