The Geography Bee

By Evelyn and Nora

 The one and only 2011 Geography Bee was a great success! There were 20 contestants: ten 4th graders and ten 5th graders. The coordinators were Mrs. Circo and Mrs. Stone, the parent of a Holmes student. There were three rounds: the preliminary round (for every contestant), the final round (top 10 contestants), and the championships (three last competitors) and each contestant got 7 questions per round. All the competing students were prepared and did their very best, and the Geography Bee ended nicely. By the end of the competition there were only three students left, all in 5th grade. In third place: Peyton O.! Second place: Maggie F.! Finally in first place: (For the 2nd year in a row) Peter G!
