Alexa McNamara Wins Gilmanton School Geographic Bee


Alexa McNamara, an 8th Grade student at Gilmanton School won the school-level competition of the National Geographic Bee on January 13, 2011 and a chance at a $25,000 college scholarship. The school-level Bee, at which students answered oral questions on geography, was the first round in the 23rd annual National Geographic Bee. The Bee is sponsored by Google (visit www.google.com/educators/geo).


The kickoff for this year’s Bee was the week of November 15, with thousands of schools around the United States and in the five U.S. territories participating. The school winners, including Alexa McNamara will now take a written test; up to 100 of the top scorers in each state will be eligible to compete in their state Bee April 1, 2011. The National Geographic Society will provide an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., for state champions and teacher-escorts to participate in the National Geographic Bee national championship rounds on May 24 and 25, 2011. The first-place national winner will receive a $25,000 college scholarship and a lifetime membership in the Society and a trip to the Galàpagos Islands, courtesy of Lindbald Expeditions and National Geographic (visit www.expeditions.com).


“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek will moderate the national finals on May 25. The program will air on television. Check local listings for dates and times.


Everyone can test their geographic knowledge with the exciting GeoBee Challenge, an online geography quiz at www.nationalgeographic.com/geobee, which poses 10 new questions a day, or by downloading the GeoBee Challenge app for iPhones, iPods, and iPads.
