Students at Tunstall Middle School participated in the National Geographic Bee on December 10, 2019. Students were questioned using material prepared by the National Geographic Society. Participants were narrowed down to a set of finalists. These students were eager to show what they have learned throughout the years about geography and world events. Seventh grader Donald Emerson Saunders emerged as the first place winner for the school. Second place was claimed by another seventh grader, Aaron Presley. Third place recognition was earned by sixth grader Collin Snead. The following students received participation awards: Avalyn Emerson, William Gates, Sophia Scearce, Matthew Harris, Alexander Jackson, Mason Lewis, Berlince Dong, Dustin ‘D.C.’ Webb, and Rajeshwari Kumar. Each school winner will now take an online test to determine the top 100 scores across the State. Those finalists will compete in the State Bee.
