Victory Christian Fellowship,

Lower Dauphin Middle School recently held its geography bee. After 13 rounds designed to test students’ geographical knowledge, the competition came down to two eighthgraders. Adrian Olweiler and Peter Otto sat face-to-face on the school’s stage. Four feet apart, they were given three questions whose answers were to be written on white boards and shown to the judges simultaneously. After three championship questions, Peter was declared the school winner. For his efforts, he received a medal and the right to add his name to the school’s list of previous champions. A few weeks after the bee, he took the online qualifying exam and will hear in March if his score was high enough to make it to the state bee on Friday, March 27.
