Academic Contests Challenge St. Brigid Students

On which river is the Hoover Dam? How do you spell "chicle?" Our students know. Two recent academic contests allowed St. Brigid students to show off their extensive knowledge.

In the National Geographic Bee, held on January 10, students answered social studies questions both from memory and by interpreting data on a map. The winners were 8th graders Connor Galardo and Sydney Campbell.

On January 24, the school-level Scripps Spelling Bee challenged students to spell a wide variety of words, both common and unusual. The winners were 8th grader Robert Bossong and 6th grader Danny Bizimana.

The winners will go on to represent St. Brigid School at the next level of each competition. Good luck!
