Where in the World? Geography Competition
This competition was a new one for Portage this year. Adams-Friendship hosted the event for eight school districts in the area. Portage took three teams; one from 7/8 and two from 5/6. The competition was difficult and had four parts. Questions were similar to those asked at the National level. Students competed both individually and as a team. Studying for the competition was complex. Even knowing the tiniest tidbit of information turned out to be helpful - like knowing which four states share one point on the earth!
Portage did an outstanding job!
For starters we rocked the individual competition, bringing home 4 of the 5 medals awarded!
5th - Luke Z, 4th - Olivia G, 3rd - Ally S, & 2nd - Ezra L.

Next one of our 5/6 grade teams brought home a third place trophy and later learned they actually earned 1st place!!
Students were: Jefferson D, Adam F, Luke Z, Adam H, & Dominic G
Our 7/8 grade team had individual scores that were so high, that when combined with their team score earned them a 1st place as well!
Congratulations to Jairus D, Ally S, Olivia G, Ethan M and Ezra L.
Other outstanding participants were Trinity W, Nathan E, Aman K, Iris B, & Max Z!
