Roland Grise Student Named
North Carolina Geographic Bee Semifinalist
By The National Geographic Society
Jennifer Godwin, an eighth grade
student at Roland Grise, has been notified by the National
Geographic Society that she is one of the semifinalists eligible
to compete in the 2008 North Carolina Geographic Bee, sponsored
by Plum Creek. The Bee will be held at Marbles Kids Museum, 201
East Hargett Street, Raleigh, NC, on Friday, April 4, 2008.
Bees were held in schools with fourth through eight grade
students throughout the state to determine each school's
Geographic Bee winner. School-level winners then took a
qualifying test, which they submitted to the National Geographic
Society. In each of the 50 states, as well as the District of
Columbia, the Department of Defense Dependents Schools and the
U.S. territories, the National Geographic Society invited the
students with the top 100 scores to compete at the state level.
The state winner will receive $100, a globe and a trip to
Washington, D.C., where he/she will represent North Carolina in
the national finals at the National Geographic Society
headquarters, which will be held May 20-21, 2008. The national
winner will receive a $25,000 college scholarship.
