Durham Intermediate School’s 2014 National Geographic Bee was held Friday, Jan. 24.
Each fifth and sixth grade Social Studies class participated in a preliminary bee to determine class winners. The top ten students then went on to the Final Round. Sixth graders Bradley Lund and Gus Milhizer then advanced to the Championship Round.
