Keene Elementary School Celebrates Award-Winning Students

Keene Elementary School’s winner of the National Geographic Bee, fourth grader Brian Klingler, was invited to participate in the State Geography Bee to be held in April.  Brian will be competing against students in grades 4–8.  In order to qualify for the state bee, he obtained a qualifying score on the school finalist’s test in January.  Another Keene student, third grader Sumana Murugan, entered a poster contest on the topic of Financial Literacy. Denise Hall, her Enrichment teacher, offered the entry to any student who was interested.  As a member of a council for economic education, Ms. Hall was quite surprised to get a phone call from the National Foundation for Credit Counseling to announce that Sumana had won the regional elementary level division.  Her poster will now be sent to the National Contest, scheduled to be judged later this month.  Congratulations to these outstanding Keene students!
