WORTHINGTON – Experience ruled the day at Worthington Middle School’s 2021 Geography Bee, which took place Thursday morning in the school’s media center.
With 23 students participating, three of the six qualifying eighth graders claimed the top three spots one of whom, Emanuel Saravia, repeated as champion.
“Experience came in handy,” affirmed Saravia, who also noted that Global Studies and mathematics are his favorite classes.
