Lufkin Road Middle School student Daniel Ghan has qualified to participate at the state level of the National Geographic Bee. The state GeoBee will be held Friday, April 3 at Wake Technical Community College. One winner from each state and territory will advance to the national competition which will be held May 19 and 20 at the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington D.C.
Melinda Stephani, WCPSS Senior Administrator for Social Studies, offered her congratulations to Ghan and Lufkin Road teachers and school GeoBee organizers Paulette Thomas, Mirka Christesen and Leslie Sniegkowski. Stephani will continue to serve as moderator for the State GeoBee this year.
"It is truly a cross-social studies content activity," said Stephani. "In order to be a winner in the Bee, students need to know a lot of science, current events, history as well as geography."
