Spelling Bee Winner!

6th grader Arnab Sircar has been notified by the National Geographic Society that he is one of the semifinalists eligible to compete in the 2016 Pennsylvania National Geographic State Bee. The contest will be held at the State Museum of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg on Friday, April 1, 2016. This is the second level of the National Geographic Bee competition, which is now in its 28th year. School Bees were held in schools with fourth- through eighth-grade students throughout the state to determine each school champion. School champions then took an online qualifying test. The National Geographic Society has invited up to 100 of the top-scoring students in each of the 50 states, District of Columbia, Department of Defense Dependents Schools and U.S. territories to compete in the state Bees. Congratulations to Arnab and good luck at the state level of the National Geographic Bee!
