Two middle school students have qualified to compete in the Pennsylvania Geographic Bee. Ben Zheng, of Jefferson Middle, and Matt Broeren, of Mellon Middle, were notified by the National Geographic Society that they are semifinalists eligible to compete in the 2009 Pennsylvania Geographic Bee tomorrow at Penn State University. Both took the qualifying test and are among the top 100 scores to compete at the state level for a spot in the national competition in Washington, D.C., in May. The Bee is organized by the National Geographic Society.
The contest is designed to encourage teachers to include geography in their classrooms, spark student interest in the subject and increase public awareness about geography. Schools with students in grades four through eight are eligible.
