National Geographic GeoBee Competition at Butler!
Over the course of several days, Butler 5th & 6th grades determined the Final-10 contestants who would go on to compete in Butler's National Geographic Geography Bee event held this past Wednesday (1/9). The ceremony was led by Butler's Principals, Mr. Funseth and Mr. Brosious - along with judges from the Butler staff.
