National Geography Bee

Throughout the month of January students in grades 5th-8th  had the opportunity to 'show off' their geography smarts and take part in classroom competitions for the Geography Bee.  After many rounds of questions two top geography experts surfaced and went on to the school wide National Geography Bee sponsored by the National Geographic Society and Google.  The 5th grade Final Competition took place at the EPAC on Wednesday, January 22.  There were 14 finalists for 5th grade and Peyton Fox earned first place honors with Ethan Krause and Brett Langer taking second and third.   The Final Competition at the Middle School took place on Thursday, January 23rd.  Nine students made it to the finals and Michael Stockel earned first place honors.  Peyton and Michael each completed a 70 question final test that was sent

n to the state level.  Students may earn top honors at state and continue on to national competition.  All results will be communicated to the schools by mid March.  Edgerton students showed incredible geography knowledge!
