Congratulations Geography Bee Winners!

On December 21, 2010 Creek View held its annual National Geographic Geography Bee. The Geography Bee is a national competition for 4th through 8th grade students. Winning students from the 4th and 5th grade classrooms competed in the school competition. The questions were tough and three students survived the first two rounds. The final winners were, 3rd place – Brian Nelson from Ms. O’Brien’s 5th grade class, 2nd place, Reed Perreiah from Mr. Chesher’s 4th grade class and 1st place, Sarah Medina from Ms. Becker’s 5th grade class.

Sarah will now take a paper test that will be submitted to the state competition and if her score is high enough she will be invited to compete in the Georgia bee. State winners travel to Washington D.C. to compete in the national bee hosted by Alex Trebec. The national winner earns a prize of $25,000. The bee is sponsored by Creek View’s media center. Congratulations to all of our classroom winners and to Sarah!
