Dear Mr. and Mrs. Burger
We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Josh in becoming one of our finalists in our school wide National Geographic Bee. It is a wonderful accomplishment and you should be very proud of him. Josh earned a spot in our final competition by beating out 150 other students. The National Geographic Bee questions are rigorous and Josh did a terrific job thinking them through and giving correct answers.
The National Geographic Bee offers some great prizes for the winners. The winner of the school Bee will take a qualifying test to advance to the state level. The winner of the state Bee will win $100 and paid trip to Washington D.C. to participate in the national competition. The winner will win a $25,00o scholarship.
The competition will be this Friday morning.
I have been calling him the walking encyclopedia for a long time, he is full of all kinds of information that most of us probably wouldn't know off the top of our heads,I guess sometimes it really pays to be the walking encyclopedia!
