SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The National Geographic Bee is an annual competition organized by the National Geographic Society, designed to inspire and reward students' curiosity about the world. Students from 10,000
schools across the United States competed in the 2017 National Geographic Bee for a chance to win college scholarships and the glory of being the National Geographic Bee Champion.
The competition starts at the school level where students then advance to the state competitions and then ultimately the nationals. The national competition is held over four days, with
the preliminary rounds on the first day and the final rounds on the third day.
The National Geographic Bee Championship took place on May 17, at National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington, D.C. and was hosted by Mo Rocca and was aired on public television
stations. On March 31, 2017, 54 state champions were named and Nicholas Monahan was Idaho’s state champion. Nicholas went on to finish 4th, winning $500 at nationals. To recognize his
achievements the Mayor requested that we proclaim June 8, 2017 as a celebration of Nicholas Monahan’s incredible achievement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Proclaim June 8, 2017 as Nicholas Monahan Day in the City of McCall, and authorize the Mayor to sign the proclamation.
