Fellow Northeast Families,

We are proud to announce the next edition of one of the most famous Northeast traditions – the 20th annual GeoBee!

The Northeast Geography Bee is a chance for NE to showcase our magnet in a fun, friendly, team-based environment. Like a spelling bee, the NE GeoBee allows students to compete on stage in teams in a safe and inclusive setting surrounded by their fellow students, teachers, and parents.

Please see the attached PDF for full details. Just to share a few quick highlights below:

Note on Teams / Individual Registration:

Children do NOT need to be already part of a team to register. If your child is interested in participating in the GeoBee, fill out the individual child registration, and we will use our best efforts to match them with a team in their grade group. If you have a team of 2, please register each child individually and send a separate email to Melissa & Ashu. We will pair them together and use our best efforts to find a 3rd team member.

Our goal is to get all Northeast students engaged in the 2024 GeoBee!
