Troy Junior High students were very busy this month preparing for two competitions—the National Geographic Bee which was held on Tuesday, January 15th, and the local Spelling Bee which was held on Thursday, January 31st.
32 students in grades 4-8 signed up for the National Geographic Bee, with 12 of those being junior high students. Annie Day, a 6th grade student won the competition. The next step for Annie is to take a multiple choice written test to qualify for the state bee, the time and date of which is TBD.
State winners are invited to National Geographic headquarters in late May to compete in the national finals for scholarships in the amount of U.S. $25,000, $15,000 and $10,000.
For the Spelling Bee, 20 students in grades 5-8 participated. 12 of those students were junior high students. Junior High winners were Sarah Pierce and Jonathan Jex, with the alternate being Alaina White. The county competition is in Libby at 1pm on Thursday, February 21st.
Congratulations to all the winners and the participants of this year’s bees!
