A 6th grade student at Huron Valley Catholic School, won the school-level competition of the National Geographic Bee on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 and a chance at a $25,000 college scholarship. The school-level Bee, at which students answered oral questions on geography, was the first round in the 25th annual National Geographic Bee. This year’s Bee is sponsored by Google (visit www.google.com/educators/geo).
The kickoff for this year’s Bee was the week of November 12, with thousands of schools around the United States and in the five U.S. territories participating.
The National Geographic Society will provide an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., for the state champions and teacher-escorts to participate in the Bee national championship rounds May 20-22, 2013. The first-place national winner will receive a $25,000 college scholarship, a lifetime membership in the Society, and a trip to the Galàpagos Islands, courtesy of Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic (visit www.expeditions.com).
“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek will moderate the national finals on May 22. The program will air on television. Check local listings for dates and times.
