Continuing a tradition that has spanned over 18 years, St. Joan of Arc students in grades 5 through 8 recently participated in the “National Geographic GeoBee.”  The school-level competition was the first round in the annual geography competition designed to inspire and reward students’ curiosity about the world.

Congratulations to Roman for qualifying for the State Level Competition.  The next round will be Friday March 29, 2019 at Western Michigan University.
Good Luck Roman!  We're Proud of You!
           
            We are proud of our grade winners:  
            Grade 5--Elle and Max
            Grade 6--Jacob and Arun
            Grade 7--Mary, Christopher, and Roman
            Grade 8--Nolan, Madison, and David
 
            We especially want to congratulate our school champions:
            3 ^rd Place—Jacob
            2nd Place—Arun
            1 ^st Place—Roman
           
            School champions from around the country, including Roman, will take an online qualifying test; up to 100 of the top test scorers in each state then become eligible to compete in their State GeoBee.  Those winners will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C., in May to participate in the GeoBee national championship. We wish Roman all the best as he strives for geographic knowledge excellence!
