Olmsted Falls Middle School held its 25th annual Geography Bee on Wednesday, January 27.
All students at Olmsted Falls Middle School participated in the qualifying round of the National Geographic Bee in November. From this initial round, 20 contestants competed in the final competition.
The final competition consisted of questions provided by National Geographic that were given orally to each of the contestants. The winner of the competition will take a qualifying state exam. Results of that exam will determine qualification for the state competition to be held in April. The winner of the state competition will win an all-expense paid trip for four to Washington D.C. to compete at the national level in May.
