Yorktown Secondary students competed in Round Two (the verbal part) of the Citizen Bee contest on Thursday, March 9, 2023. Madison Green, Jackie Gwosdz, Paul Rodriguez and Phillip Yeretsky were competing from the school library, where they were monitored by Coach Acree, while Kale Blank and Aydan Joe were competing at the Woodsboro Track Meet, where they were being monitored by Coach Nessel. Each student had 45 seconds to answer a question from three categories: People/Events, Documents and Supreme Court cases, and The Constitution. Each correct answer earned the student 10 points to be added to their score from the written portion of the test on Tuesday.
For the 2nd year in a row, Jackie Gwosdz placed 2nd and won a $100 gift card. Our very own Phillip Yeretsky placed first, won a $250 gift card and will compete on April 15, 2023, at the State Citizen Bee Contest with a chance to win $5000. Great job to everyone!!
