Students in grades four through eight at St. Mary School had an opportunity to demonstrate their geographic literacy and increase their earthly knowledge through the school’s annual Geographic Bee, which took place on Friday, Dec. 9.
Students were asked to answer questions concerning topographical features, climate, culture, and location facts. The first round was written quiz questions pertaining to state and continent trivia. The top six highest scores moved on to the oral level.
