The school-level competition is the first round in the annual National Geographic GeoBee, a geography competition designed to inspire and reward students’ curiosity about the world. Questions cover not only geography, buat also cultures, physical features, history and earth science.
The National Geographic Society developed the GeoBee in 1989 in response to concern about the lack of geographic knowledge among young people in the United States. Over more than three decades, 120 million students have learned about the world through participation in the GeoBee.

7th grade students in Mrs. Gaddis and Miss Vogt's TGS Service Project exploratory class are working with Mrs. Kreke's kindergarten students. The 7th graders will be writing a story featuring the kindergarten student as the main character. To get to know each other better, they had the chance to meet, and the kindergarten students were full of energy as they told their 7th grade buddy all about themselves! When the books are complete the students will get to meet again so the 7th graders can give the kindergartners their book. We cannot wait to see what our authors come up with!
