Jola Hebert, grade five social studies teacher and coordinator of the geography bee said, “The contestants proved themselves to be very knowledgeable about facts regarding U.S. geography. They were not allowed to use a map, yet they answered questions such as which state is south of Nebraska, east of Colorado, west of Missouri and north of Oklahoma?
“The audience was quite impressed when all teams correctly answered, Kansas,” she added.
