Seventh grade student Anthony P. has won the St. Catherine of Siena School National Geographic Bee, held on January 30. He will attend a state-level Geographic Bee to be held in the spring. Each year thousands of schools in the United States participate in the National Geographic Bee using materials prepared by the National Geographic Society. The contest is designed to encourage teachers to include geography in their classrooms, spark student interest in the subject, and increase public awareness about geography. Schools with students in grades four through eight are eligible for this entertaining and challenging test of geographic knowledge.
