Roosevelt's Geographic Bee Winner Advances to Next Level

Roosevelt's recent National Geographic Bee hosted 14 students, including alternates, in a thrilling competition. After several close rounds, two 8th grade students, Lucca Lissuzzo and Charles Roeger, competed in the best of three championship rounds. Roosevelt champion Charles Roeger will advance to the next level where a written exam will determine the statewide competitors. All school champions are eligible to win the national championship and the $50,000 first prize college scholarship. The national championship will be held May 20-23 in Washington, D.C.
