Snow Day!

Madison County Spelling Bee

Madison was chosen along with eight other 5th graders to represent Jonathan Alder in the County spelling bee. She did this by passing a written test at school. The spelling bee was February 12th and was attended by all the school winners from Madison County, 5th thru 8th grade. They first had a written test and then the five winners from each grade would proceed to the oral test. Madison didn't get to proceed to the oral round, but came close. One boy from her grade who proceeded to the oral round got 24 answers right on the written test and Madison got 23 right. We are so proud of her to get that far!! She did get a shirt and a medal for her efforts! The actual winner of the spelling bee was a 5th grader from West Jeff.

Madison's 11th Birthday!

She had a great birthday with Family over to share the day with her, and she loved her candles!
