Reaching welkin heights

Posted June 1, 2006 at 3:10 PM by SinghCity in Local Nooz (3 comments)

A few months ago, I brought to you the story of Josephine Kao, who won the Central Valley Spelling Bee and was on her way to the nationals in Washington, DC.

The national competition is going on as we speak. Josephine, Sacramento’s sole/soul representative, reached round 4, where she was eliminated for misspelling the word welkin.

Regardless, congrats Josephine, for a j-o-b well done!

Hello-
I was meaning to thank you earlier, however I forgot. But now that I have the chance I should. Without the support of all of you, the spelling bee wouldn’t of been the same. Knowing that I had encouragement from people help me to have courage. Thank you Sac Rag for keeping everyone updated on my spelling bees, and thank you to everyone who reads this!

Way to go Josephine! As someone who is a terrible speller I must say I’m very impressed and hope to see more of you in future spelling bee reports! Way to go!
