RUNNER-UP REPRESENTS LAGUNA IN NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC BEE
Fifth grader from Mrs. Quisberg’s class, Johnny Urquhart, won our school-level competition of the National Geographic Bee on December 11, 2009. Unfortunately, Johnny and his family moved to Michigan during winter recess. Consequently, our runner-up, fourth grader from Mrs. Bobbett’s class, Samantha Anderson, will represent Laguna! Samantha is now one step closer to a $25,000 scholarship. There was a tie for third place between fourth grader, Danny Gallagher from Mrs. Drago’s class and fifth grade, Dana Doyle from Mrs. Graham’s class. The school-level Bee, at which students answered oral questions on geography, was the first round in the 22nd annual National Geographic Bee. Our school winner, Samantha Anderson, will now take a written test; up to 100 of the top scorers in the written exam from each state will be eligible to compete in our state Bee on April 9, 2010. We wish Samantha the very best in her next step…. the written exam! Congratulations to the following room representatives who did an outstanding job in a very difficult competition!
