Davis Thayer Circus

On Tuesday, Davis Thayer Students participated in the 24th annual National Geographic's Geography Bee. Students from around the country in fourth through eight grades are eligible to participate. After each fourth and fifth classroom held preliminary rounds, ten finalists were determined. Those students competed against one another until we determined a Davis Thayer Champion.

Third Place...Anna B. and Will D. from Mrs. MacRury's class
Second Place...Marcus B. from Mrs. Norton's class
First Place...Congratulations to Andrew L. from Mrs. Alger's class!

Andrew will now complete a written exam to attempt to qualify for the State Bee. Best of luck to Andrew!
