Last Friday, East Ridge Middle School conducted its annual Geography Bee. Social Studies teachers Will Boylan and Andrea Donigian hosted the event, and Principal Jennifer Phostole was the emcee.
The entire school competed in a qualifying round with 21 students qualifying to compete on stage in front of the whole school. The competitors engaged in prep sessions with Mrs. Donigian and Mr. Boylan. The questions were challenging, and the finalists did a wonderful job with some exceptionally difficult questions! The audience was enthusiastic throughout the competition. Thanks to all the families, staff, and students who helped make this a fantastic event.
