Kaleigh recites "The Milkmaid" from Beka reading series at local Speechmeet.

Here she is, our little speech giver! Kaleigh participated in a school speech meet. Everyone in the elementary grades were required to memorize a Bible verse, Fable or Poem. Kaleigh chose a fable, "The Milkmaid". She practiced for her class and she was chosen to move on to the next level. They had about 5 kids in the class that were chosen and then the 3 best were selected to go to Costa Mesa at the ACSI Speech Meet held at Mariner's Christian School. The judges had standards that needed to be met to receive certain levels of accomplishment, blue ribbon - superior, red ribbon - excellent, other ribbons for good and honorable mention. As you can see, Kaleigh got an "Excellent" ribbon! She did really well, but repeated the first line twice because she thought she forgot a part. She also was nervous and swayed a little and looked at the ceiling. All of which reduces your score. But we are very very proud that she did it! Congratulations Kaleigh and great job!
