Each year thousands of schools in the United States participate in the National Geographic Bee using materials prepared by the National Geographic Society. The contest is designed to encourage teachers to include geography in their classrooms, spark student interest in the subject, and increase public awareness about geography. Schools with students in grades four through eight are eligible for this entertaining and challenging test of geographic knowledge. The Massachusetts state finals were held at Clark University. The national finals will be held in Washington, DC in May (20-21) and Chris will represent Massachusetts. We wish you well. Click here to find out more about the National Geographic Bee
