On January 14, Owen Fleck, a seventh-grader at Meadow Glade Adventist Elementary School, won the school’s geography bee competition for the third time. It was Owen’s fourth time competing in the annual school bee.
Following Fleck’s first win as a fourth-grader in 2019, he advanced to the state National Geographic Bee competition.
Last year, when the National Geography Bee was postponed, Malaika Childers, MGAES fifth-sixth grade teacher, organized a virtual school-sponsored bee with representatives from grades three-eight.
