Students Compete In Geography Bee On January 8, forty-one students from grades 6, 7 and 8 assembled at the Elk Lake Junior/Senior High School auditorium to compete for the 2008-09 Elk Lake School Geography Bee.
Pictured (l-r) are: Jr. High School Principal Mr. Brian Mallery, Geography Bee Champion Gabrielle Melan, and Mr. Michael Cutri, Geography teacher. It was a highly competitive geography bee, with many rounds needed before the competition was narrowed down to the final five contestants: Peter McGee (grade 7), Alex Manzek (grade 7), Justin Cobb (grade 7), Ricky Burger (grade 8), and Gabrielle Melan (grade 8). These five students then entered into the championship round of questioning. Finally, the school’s geography bee champion was crowned based on the following question: Musical instruments similar to those found in Indonesia, like the valiha, a type of tube zither, are culturally significant on what large island off the east coast of Africa? The student who correctly identified the island was Gabrielle Melan. What was the answer to the question? Madagascar! Congratulations to Gabrielle on being the new school geography champion. Gabrielle now moves on to the state level round of the National Geographic Bee. Congratulations to all 41 participants in this year’s geography bee, each represented their grade level very well.
