The fourth and fifth grade students at Gretna Elementary School participated in the National Geographic Bee on December 9, 2019. Students were questioned using material prepared by the National Geographic Society. Participants were narrowed down to a set of finalists. These students were eager to show what they have learned throughout the years about geography and world events. Fifth grader Conner Lokey emerged as the first place winner for the school. Second place was claimed by fourth grader, Ainsley Dalton. Third place recognition was earned by fifth grader, Curtis Lester. The following students received participation awards: Isabella Brumfield, Brock Dowdy, Hampton Hancock-Ward, Niti Patel, Emiliano Rosiles, Salem Saunders, Brenden Smith and Nijee Witcher. Each school winner will now take an online test to determine the top 100 scores across the State. Those finalists will compete in the State Bee.
