Students participate in First Geography Bee

In December, FLVS had 19 students participate in our school’s very first Geography Bee. They tested their geography skills in a Kahoot-style setting with questions from a variety of categories including: State Savvy, Forces of Nature, and Weird but True. The top 10 contestants have earned the opportunity to compete at the FLVS face-to-face competition in Orlando on Thursday, Jan. 25. Congratulations to all the students who participated, and to the following who will be at the live competition: Michael Berlin, Ayden Bushway, Kaleb Bushway, Spencer Erickson, Sierra Johnson, Emily Maynard, Jacob Maynard, and Isabella Rodriguez. We’ll share our winner next month!
