WELLS, Maine — Sixth-grader Tyler Donahue claimed first place in Wells Junior High School's annual Geography Bee.
The competition held in March featured 10 finalists from classrooms across the school. Eighth-grader Clyde Holzer secured second place, with runners-up including Kyle Dolliver and Eric Lee.
The other finalists were Gabe Brown (grade 7), Gabe Danner-Wilson (grade 8), Zoe Lemont (grade 8), Will Minogue (grade 6), Liz Nadeau (grade 6), and Abigail Nawfel (grade 7).
Bonnie Dill, a former social studies teacher and longtime organizer of previous WJHS Geography Bees, returned as the master of ceremonies.
"Bonnie Dill was our special guest MC, and she knocked it out of the park," said teacher Allison Le. "The ten student finalists did an awesome job during the event, with the end being a long, multi-question showdown. Overall, it was a great success!"
