Mark Arildsen Takes 3rd Place in National Geographic Bee!

Just had to share: USN 7th grader Mark Arildsen Takes 3rd Place in National Geographic Bee! You can view video from the May 23 event, including the final tie-breaking round that brought Mark his final placement, including a $10,000 check for his college savings, here. Congratulations to Mark and his parents, as well as to all the teachers who have helped him learn enough to achieve this high honor (and, most of all, who have helped him to love learning).
