The National Geographic Geography Bee State Championships begin April 1.
WOBURN, MA—Joyce Middle School's own Tara Metters will be competing in the National Geographic Massachusetts State Geography Bee Friday, and organizations around Woburn showed their support.
Metters will take on up to 100 students from across the Commonwealth in the bee, competing for a spot in the National Geography Been in May. State Bee champions will receive $100, the National Geographic book “The National Parks: An Illustrated History," a medal and will journey to Washington, D.C., to represent his or her state in the National Geographic Bee Championship at National Geographic headquarters.
