We would also like to specifically congratulate the winners of the CMS Geo. Bee. Our third place winners, who tied, were Allan Crounse (a 7th grader at Peabody in Mr. Murphy’s class) and Thomas Griffin (a 6th grader at Sanborn in Ms. Durvasula’s class). Our second place winner was Ben Sprague, a Sanborn 8th grader in Ms. Gennaco’s class. And last, but not least, the winner of the CMS Geo. Bee is Jim Hoagland, an 8th-grade student in Mr. Robbin’s social studies class at Peabody. Jim will have the opportunity to represent CMS at the State Finals this spring! We wish him the best of luck!
