Local Geography Bee winners announced
If you need to know facts about any country or place in the world, just ask one of Fayette's geography bee winners. This year all Fayette County elementary and middle schools participated in the National Geographic Society's Geography Bee, which is designed to spark students' interest in the subject and increase public awareness about geography. Students took tests in the classrooms to determine which students would be represented in the school bee. The students who won at the school level will take a written test and the top 100 scoring students in the state will participate in the Georgia Geography Bee April 4.
