Elise Sommer wins Intermediate Geographic Bee

Elise Sommer wins the Lewiston-Altura Intermediate School Geographic Bee and now moves one step closer to $50,000 College Scholarship.
The students in Mr. Olson’s and Mr. Stinson’s Social Studies classes sat quietly. Only eighteen questions to get through to see who would advance to the Lewiston-Altura Intermediate School Geographic Bee. Of the one hundred and nine students at the Lewiston-Altura Intermediate School, thirty-three advanced to the school wide Geography Bee which was held on Tuesday, December 23, 2014.
Elise Sommer, a 5th grader at the Lewiston-Altura Intermediate School, won the school competition of the National Geographic Bee and a chance at a $50,000 college scholarship. The school Bee, at which students answered questions on geography, was the first round in the 27th annual National Geographic Bee.
Thousands of schools around the United States and in the five U.S. territories are participating in the 2015 Bee. The school champions, including [student], will take a written test; up to 100 of the top scorers on that test in each state will then be eligible to compete in their state Bee on March 27, 2015.
The National Geographic Society will provide an all-expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C., for state winners to participate in the Bee national championship rounds May 11-13, 2015. The first place national champion will receive a $50,000 college scholarship, a lifetime membership in the Society including a subscription to National Geographic magazine, and a trip to the Galápagos Islands, courtesy of Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic.
Award-winning journalist Soledad O’Brien will moderate the national finals on May 13. The program will air on television. Check local listings for dates and times.
