Jessica was one of only 100 students from NY to participate in the National Geographic Geography Bee State competition.
After she won the school Bee, she had to take a written test and it was submitted for scoring. She was one of the top 100 scorers and got to represent her school at the Bee. She was the first from her school or the district to get this far.
We journeyed to Albany on April 3 for the contest on April 4. She went off to her group to compete with other children who were mostly 7th and 8th graders. She answered 6 out of 8 questions correctly which is amazing in itself as the questions can range from anything on the globe and then some! They only put the students with perfect scores to the final round of 10.
We toured the museum and headed home for a victory party which Jim and Nicole decorated the house!
This is Jess in front of the sign marking the Bee!
