Clark County students invited to enter Native Son Spelling Bee
January 4, 2019 - 11:42 am
The Native Son Spelling Bee is accepting entries for its fifth annual competition.
The spelling bee is open to all Clark County third- and fourth-graders, and was created to honor the late educator and community activist Sam Smith, who owned a West Las Vegas bookstore known as Native Son.
Students will compete for a $1,000 grand prize for each grade. The competition will include a pre-qualification round on Jan. 12 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Democracy Prep Academy. The spelling bee will be held on March 2 at the West Las Vegas Library.
