After an outstanding effort by all 13 finalists in the Newcastle Elementary Geographic Bee, the championship round came down to Carter Ackermann and Caleb Chin. After an exciting round of three questions, Carter earned the title of school champion for the second year in a row. Carter will now take an online test provided by the National Geographic Society in an attempt to qualify for the state competition. The students in WA with the top 100 qualifying test scores will represent their schools and compete at the state level on March 29th, 2019.
Compliments to all of our finalists who competed on stage this year: Eli Nguyen, Sofia Kincaid, Nishitha Alla, Wenhan Xie, Carter Ackermann, Ava Bastron, Caleb Chin, Trevor Reinhold, Kaitlin Ojendyk, Eesha Sreejith, Gianna Orchekowsky, Elora Rodriguez-Vigel, and Makenna Hall.
