Ten Old Town Academy students participated in the school-wide National Geographic Geography Bee Finals on Tuesday, January 15th. The competition was refereed by 8th Grade Teacher, Ms. Christensen; and students had to answer questions about U.S. states, U.S. bodies of water, National Scenic Trails, and World Geography.
The finalists, from grades 4-8 were:

4th Grade-Domenic and Brayden
5th Grade-Lia and Collin
6th Grade-Xavier and Broy
7th Grade-Charlie and Thomas
8th Grade-Lloyd and Max

Congratulations to all of our finalists for their hard work preparing for this rigorous competition. In addition, OTA’s school-wide winner for the Geography Bee was Thomas Hesser from the Seventh Grade! Thomas will now try to qualify to move on to the state and national competition held later this spring. Good luck, Thomas!
