Spelling Bee

Lauren advanced to the St. Mary's 6th/7th/8th grade spelling bee after winning the 3rd/4th/5th grade spelling bee a couple years back. She was pretty confident heading into the contest and even had the say-the-word, spell-the-word, say-the-word drill down.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as well this time around. After smoothly making it through her first two words (see the video), she stumbled on ravioli. In a bizarre coincidence, that was the same thing she had for lunch. If she's anything like her dad (who was runner-up in the school spelling bee as an eighth-grader), she won't soon forget that she missed that word.

Check out the "Murderer's Row" for the finalists.

Lauren receives her certificate.

And now she knows how to spell, "ravioli."
