Way To Go Baxter!!

Baxter Knapp qualified to represent our school and participate at the state level of the National Geographic Bee, sponsored by Google and Plum Creek. The state Bee will be held on Friday, April 1, at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.


Student participants in the state level must be in grade levels of four through eight and must have participated in and won the contest at the school-level that involved at least six students. Baxter then took a written test that was scored by the National Geographic Bee organization, to see if he qualified to go onto the state level.  We receive in writing that Baxter will be competing at the state level. 


Winners of the state level and territory will advance to the national competition, which will be held May 24^th and 25^th at the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington, D.C.  The final round of the 2011 National Geographic Bee, featuring Alex Trebek, will air on the National Geographic Channel on May 25^th and then on public television stations.


Good Luck at the State Geography Bee Baxter!
