Matthew Rodriguez, a fourth grade student at Washington-Wilkes Elementary School, won the school-level competition of the National Geography Bee. The school-level bee, at which students answered oral questions on geography, was the first round in the 19th annual National Geography Bee.
A total of 17 fourth- and fifth-grade students participated in the bee.
Matthew will now take a written test. Up to 100 of the top scorers on that test in each state will be eligible to compete in their state bees. Matthew received a medal, and his name will be engraved on the plaque located in the lobby of W-WES. Matthew is the son of Salvador and Tara Rodriguez.
