Education: He knows where it’s at Penn View student a semifinalist in geographic bee By Tricia PursellThe Daily Item Despite all of the studying and remaining an honor roll student, he finds time for other activities. He plays first trumpet in his school’s instrumental ensemble, and he enjoys sports. “I’ll play just about any sport there is,” he said.
“The geography bee helps our students to have an awareness of the world around them,” said Principal David DeStefano. “They learn the needs of the world, and knowledge of physical geography gives us a greater sense or acceptance of our stewardship of the world.” The state winner will receive $100, the “National Geographic Collegiate Atlas of the World” and a trip to Washington, D.C., to represent Pennsylvania in the national finals May 19-20. The first-place national winner will receive a $25,000 college scholarship and a lifetime membership in the society, as well as an all-expense-paid trip to the Galapagos Islands.
