Nebo School District’s fourth annual Elementary Keyboarding Competition was held at Spanish Fork High School on April 17, 2019. It was five hours of intense competition, fun activities, and great awards. The actual competition took place in three rounds of single elimination contests. Almost 500 students were selected to participate on the basis of their keyboarding speed and accuracy. First place winners receive a $100 Visa gift card. Second place winners receive a $75 Visa gift card. Third place winners receive a $50 Visa gift card. Fourth place winners receive a $25 Visa gift card. Places 5 through 15 receive a $10 bill.
Thanks so much to Nebo Credit Union and to Macey’s for supporting this yearly event. Each year, Nebo Credit Union provides money for the top four awards in each grade level. Macey’s assists with bottled water and snacks for the participants. We are so grateful for their interest in and support of Nebo School District!
Nebo’s Elementary Keyboarding Program consists of 20 days of introduction to proper keyboarding in the 3rd Grade, 50 days of intense training and skillbuilding in the 4th Grade, and 15 days of speedbuilding and accuracy building in the 5th Grade.
