On March 8, Pete participated for the first time in the Loudoun County Spelling Bee. This was as a result of his winning the 6th grade Spelling Bee at Farmwell last month. His competitors were the winners of the Spelling Bees from all of the other schools in Loudoun County. The winner of the Loudoun Bee goes to the National finals.
Pete finished tied for 9th out of 103 participants. He correctly spelled indigenous and hyperbole. He went out on the word halal. The people who were still remaining when Pete went out were all excellent spellers, any of whom deserved to win.
