Brett Emerges As PRM Geography Bee Champ

The National Geography Bee is a nation wide event that is held in thousands of schools across the United States. All students at PRM participated in the first round which was held in each social studies class. The questions ranged from United States geography to world culture. The top scorers after seven rounds then advanced to the 2nd round which was held after school.
In this round the difficulty level of questions increased and students used a map of the United States as well as their world knowledge to answer challenging questions. After an impressive battle for third place, Charles P. was awarded third place. Justin B. and Brett D. battled for first and Brett was named Pearl R. Miller's champion. All students who participated should be acknowledged for their commendable efforts in the annual competition.
Brett took a 70 question multiple choice test which will be sent in and evaluated. This written examination will determine state competitors. If he is one of the top scorers in New Jersey, he will compete at the state level. Brett has a chance to win a 25,000 scholarship and compete in Washington D.C. in May. Good Luck Brett!
