📚🧠 Words Matter—and Our Eagles Proved It! 🦅❤️🖤
Southern Boone Middle School students recently took on a worldwide vocabulary challenge—and the results were incredible!
During February and March, students mastered an impressive 33,709 words, finishing 7th among all middle schools in the U.S. and Canada in the Vocabulary Bowl. 🌎 Out of more than 1 million students competing worldwide, four of our students placed in the Top 30 globally, including a standout performance by sixth-grader Sophia Yeager, who finished 10th in the world!
To make things even more exciting, the middle school hosted its own competition alongside the Vocabulary Bowl, recognizing top performers in each grade level with gift cards generously donated by Veterans United.
