At 1:00 on Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Sam hosted our VUES GeoBee. What's a GeoBee you ask? A GeoBee is a competition that asks students variety of different questions about the world. Whoever made two mistakes was automatically out of the competition. This competition was for students in 4th through 6th grade. The GeoBee had two 4th graders, two 5th graders, and two 6th graders. The winner, Bradley will move on to the State GeoBee at Middlebury College. Whoever wins that goes onto the National GeoBee in Washington D.C.  Good luck Bradley!
