Lowden was a finalist in the school Geographic Bee tonight! He was very excited to be one of the 11 finalists that made it to the final round out of 91 students who took the pre-test. The competition includes students in 4th through 8th grade. Grandpa and Grandma Hansen came to cheer him on. This video above was taken before the bee when he was getting mentally ready.
He had a tricky first question. But scored on the second one he was given...."The Snake River borders Idaho and what other state?" He had that look of understanding in his eyes as he answered "Oregon" proudly. I think that made his night. We were all very proud!
His last question was about "what city in Wisconsin has the highest population?" He guessed Madison, which is the capitol. But, the answer was Milwaukee. But he ended strong...in the top six. The top two winners were seventh graders. The third place winner was a sixth grader. Being that Lowden is only in the fourth grade, we were very proud of him for placing where he did!
He enjoyed a lot of the PTO provided cookies!
And went home with a globe medal and a big smile on his face! Way to go Lowden!
