The regional middle school Science Bowl

  Shelbi's been preparing two years for this event.  Last year she studied with the team, but wasn't old enough to compete.  This year she was part of the all-girl team.  It was tough competition.  I sat in awe of the depth scientific knowledge of these kids.  Her team made it to the afternoon rounds, being beat out by the teams that went on to get second and third place.  

*Shelbi, if you're reading this, and I know you will at some point, please consider competing again next year.  I know it's a big commitment and not always fun, but it was good to work toward a goal as a team and usually the hard things we do bring us the greatest satisfaction.  Remember how fun this day was?  Remember what a benefit you were to your team?  Keep that in mind.  :)
