RPCS ANNOUNCES LOCAL SPELLING BEE WINNERS

Rock Point, AZ, January 13, 2023 – The RPCS Spelling Bee Committee is delighted to announce Spelling Bee winners from January 12, 2023’s competition. The Spelling Bee is for grades 1st through 8th. The winners advance to the Agency Spelling Bee. Winners of the Agency Spelling bee move on to the Navajo Nation Spelling and then on to the National Spelling Bee Competition.

The students did an amazing job! The following 1st and 2nd place winners will be moving onto the Chinle Agency Spelling Bee on February 2, 2023 in Chinle, Arizona. 4th grade went 7 rounds and 6th grade went 11 rounds before winners were determined.
