North Ogden honors students who placed in statewide Constitution Bee
Summary
The council recognized students who competed in the statewide Constitution Bee. Reid Miller presented details of the contest structure (team size, study guide, rounds) and congratulated North Ogden teams for winning trophies and cash awards; second-place elementary teams received $250.
The council paused regular business to recognize local students who took part in the statewide Constitution Bee. Reid Miller described the competition format (four students per team; questions from a 40-page study guide covering the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and amendments; tournament rounds with buzzer competition) and reported that North Ogden sent multiple teams across elementary and junior-high divisions, earning trophies, medals and cash awards.
"Out of those 24 elementary teams, 8 of them came from North Ogden," Reid Miller said, praising principals and teachers who supported the effort and the students for their consistent study. He singled out coaches Ranelle Cox, Heidi Montag and Krista Burnett for their work organizing teams.
The council thanked the students and invited them to stay for the meeting or leave early, and the mayor thanked Reid Miller and the teachers for arranging participation. The recognition was ceremonial and no council action was required.
