Christopher Allen Ties for 7th place in the State Geo Bee!
|
On March 27th in Nashville at the state level of the National Geographic Geography Bee, our Christopher Allen had a perfect score of ten out of ten in the first round with 99 other participants and advanced to the final round where he tied for 7th place in the state.
Christopher is a 5th grade homeschool student and son of Andy and Sarah Allen. He won the 2015 Hamilton County Homeschool Geo Bee (for 4th-8th graders) sponsored by the Library in January. Then he took a written test to qualify for the state competition. He also won the local Geo Bee in 2014 and went to the state level where he was one of only two fourth graders to participate. Way to go, Christopher!
