RPCS ANNOUNCES CENTRAL AGENCY SPELLING BEE WINNERS

Rock Point, AZ, February 02, 2023 – The RPCS Local Spelling Bee winners traveled to Chinle, Arizona, on Thursday to participate in the Central Agency Spelling Bee. Our RPCS group returned to the RPCS Campus much later than they were scheduled. The reason is because the Bee took seven hours! The Navajo Times reports that the 7th Grade Competition went to thirteen rounds and the judges had to pause and listen to the audio recorded spelling to decide! Congratulations to all students from all schools!
