Geography Bee at Dan River Middle

The sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students at Dan River Middle School participated in the National Geographic Bee on Thursday, December 15, 2011. Mr. Clarke Scott, Director of Middle School Education and Lead Director of History, was the host. The students were questioned on materials prepared by the National Geographic Society. Students were eager to show what they have learned throughout the years about geography and world events. Seventh grader Michael Clark emerged as the first place winner for the school. Second place was claimed by Austin Barker, an eighth grader. Third place recognition was earned by seventh grader Leanna Ross. The following students received participation awards: Sixth Grade: Garrison Hollie, Tristan Woodard, and Molly Smith, Seventh Grade: Jacob Adkins, Delaney Collie, and Abby Walden, and Eighth Grade: John Rigney, Zachary Gammon, Riley Shelton, and Edward Slaughter.

The school winner will now take a written test to help determine the top 100 scores across the state. Those finalists will compete in their state Bee.
