MLK student's team wins international geography contest
Rising
eighth-grader Dallas Simons was one of three students representing the
USA at last week's National Geographic World Championship in Tampa. Dallas
and two other students from North Dakota and North Carolina narrowly defeated
the German and French teams for the title; eighteen countries from as
far away as Singapore and Nigeria sent teams to the contest.
Each team studied world almanacs, newspapers and Internet sites to expand
their knowledge of the world's people and places. "If you're interested
in it," Dallas told the Associated Press, "you remember it."
The US students won the final round by correctly answering questions
about the nation of Bahrain and the Mediterranean island of Crete. This
was the fourth time the US team has won the world competition since its
beginning in 1993.
Dallas lives in Bellevue and has also attended Bellevue Middle and Harpeth
Valley Elementary.
Early Childhood Programs Reach Out to Community
Metro Schools and the Mayor's Office of Children and Youth invited
representatives from Early Childhood programs throughout Davidson County
to a meeting June 25 to
learn about the curriculum and materials that Metro Schools plans to use
in its early childhood programs in 2003-2004.
The goal of the meeting, according to Angie Herdman of the Mayor's Office,
is
to let these different programs, which include Head Start, private schools,
non-profit agencies, family child care, univerisities and faith-based
child care programs; know what Metro Schools will be using so that they
might consider using similar materials for their students. By coordinating
efforts, programs will ensure that all students who enter school will
have had similar educational experiences.

one each for elementary, middle and high school levels.
