Geography Bee Elimination Round

On Friday, December 9, a written test will be administered to all Wonderkids and Falcons. This will be our elimination round to determine the 5 top candidates from each team. This is not a grade, it is simply the easiest way for Mrs. Murphy to determine Geography Bee contestants. If you ultimately want a chance to win a $25,000 college scholarship in the national contest, I hope you have studied the links I provided for you about three weeks ago. Please continue to go over the information there if you would like a chance to win the WSMS National Geographic Geography Bee. Good luck! I know we could have a Falcon winner!

The New York Times

This newspaper is an invaluable tool for anyone who truly wants to discover what is going on in the world around you. Granted, its editorial page always leans left of center in politics (which means it is never conservative); however, it offers fantastic stories from around the world and the country. Check it out.
