[WSCSS] Register your school for the 2009 National Geographic Bee!

[Tim Scharks- Washington Geographic Alliance]

Hello everyone, the 2009 National Geographic Bee invites your school to
register for the Bee. Caitlin Snaring, an 8th grader from Washington State
took the national championship last year--will one of your students go to
nationals this year?

TIME FOR SCHOOLS TO REGISTER FOR THE 2009 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC BEE



The National Geographic Bee is a school competition for students in any
grades four through eight.  Excite your students about the world around them
and reward those who excel in their knowledge of geography by giving them a
chance to compete in a school geographic bee.



Schools registered by October 15, 2008 will receive their contest materials
in early November.  *The final deadline for registration has been extended
to December 12, 2008.  *School level Bees can be held up to January 16,
2009.  Go to www.nationalgeographic.com/geographicbee  to get complete
information and other dates and deadlines.



Principals must register their schools to receive the contest materials
necessary to conduct a school level Bee.  All we need is a letter on school
letterhead, signed by the principal, with the $70 registration fee (check or
purchase order made out to National Geographic).   The registration is not
refundable, so make sure the school registers only once.  If paying by
purchase order, note that when the school sends payment on the PO it must be
clear that the check is payment on a PO that was sent earlier so that the
school will not be entered twice in the system.



Mail the registration letter and fee, in the same envelope, to National
Geographic Bee, National Geographic Society, 1145 17th Street, NW,
Washington, DC  20036-4688.



We look forward to many more schools giving their students the opportunity
to excel and also be encouraged to know more about the world in which we
live and share, by participating in the National Geographic Bee.
