This year, 4th-8th grade students in Troy are eligible to enter the National Geographic Bee. It is a contest similar to a spelling bee in that students will be required to answer questions prepared by the National Geographic Society. The goals of the bee are to have teachers include geography in their classes, create student interest in geography, and increase the public’s knowledge of geography.
We will receive contest materials by mid-November and at that time, teachers will use the material in their classrooms to help prepare students. Students who are interested in participating can also study by visiting the contest’s website and taking the daily ten question quiz or by studying an atlas or National Geographic magazines!
The date of the bee will be published as soon as it is chosen. The bee will take place before January 15, 2013.
