It is with great pleasure that we acknowledge and honor one of our RMMS students. On March 8th, in front of several students competing to be champions of the Spanish Spelling Bee, Andrea Garcia succeeded in triumphantly winning, by unanimous decision, to be our Spanish Spelling Bee champion. Red Mountain Middle School is very proud of her efforts and astonishing “good spelling”.
We would also like to thank Julia Silva and Aymara Chaparro, for also giving their greatest effort at the competition. Our three students truly represent the academic success and efforts necessary to represent our school with such pride. We congratulate our three students as we know it is not easy to stand in front of so many people and compete for such an honorable title.
Andrea Garcia will continue into the next round at the state level Spanish Spelling Bee. We wish her the best of luck and give her our full support.
