BULLDOG BRILLIANCE
MSS Crowns Geography Bee Champion

​Main Street School held its eighth annual Geography Bee on March 8. Thirteen fourth-graders and 21 fifth-graders were identified as finalists in the competition, which lasted nine rounds before going into an elimination round and a championship round.
 
Following the final round, the winning title went to fourth-grader Jack Silverman, while Mohun Desai and Jordan Platt, also fourth-graders, were named runners-up. The students will be acknowledged at the April 4 Board of Education meeting.
 
“We applaud all of our finalists for participating in this exciting event,” Principal Joyce Chapnick said. “We are so proud of all of the students who participated. Thanks to the PTSA for continuing to support this event.”
