Yesterday, January 8th, Grainwood fourth and fifth graders participated in our annual Geography Bee. There were seven rounds of questions and each participant was asked one question in each of the seven rounds of competition (much like a spelling bee). Questions ranged from choosing between United State's cities and states, to providing answers related to continents and other countries. Scores were so close that a tie-breaker between the two finalists (below), Avi and Bella needed to be done.

Congratulations go out to fifth grader Bella for winning the competition. Bella will now take a written test and the 100 top scorers in the state will advance to a state competition later this year. We wish her the best!
