Leah B made it, but she asked that you please not put her last name up ;-)
God's Maiden of Virtue
Ahhh, she did!?!? We looked for her, but she didn't come up when we looked in her division, state, and city. So glad she did though!!! :D

I believe what Dani meant was that we have to study more Hebrew words. =)

Did anyone see who the 1st place Senior was? :)
Or that the record for the most contestants from one family in one year has been broken?!
Matthew Minica

Yeah, they alternate years - backwards and forwards. This year it's forwards. :P

I also saw that 67 contestants qualified with "Bible Bee Customer Service" as their host; I'm assuming that's the online version of the test. :)

How much school do you guys do during Nats season?

Not really much - I did three weeks of it last year, but this year's Nats is shorter.
