JMS Mythology Bee 2009 Finals
On Wednesday, March 11, 2009, eleven students competed in the Mythology Bee finals in the library. After several suspenseful rounds of competition, three students remained to face off for the top prize. Congratulations to runners-up Daphne Schlesinger and Patrick Boyda.
Answering all questions correctly throughout the Bee, Julia Maloney earned the first place medal. Way to go, Julia! Julia won a special winner's medal, and her name will be submitted into the national Percy Jackson Mythology Bee contest for a chance to win a trip to Greece and meet author Rick Riordan!
