The National Geographic Bee is held in schools all over the United States to help students become curious about the world around them. In early January, classroom bees were held in the fifth grade. The thirty top winners then competed in the semi-finals on January 22. The semi-final competition resulted in the field being narrowed down to ten students. These ten finalists participated in the school-wide National Geographic Bee on January 29th. 

For the last two weeks students at CIS have been leaving computer class with a big smile on their face after completing the Hour of Code. The Hour of Code is a global movement by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries through a one-hour introduction to computer science and computer programming.

Last year the student representing CIS won second place in regionals. Our school winners this year are first place winner, Annalyn D. and second place winner, Audie G. Congratulations and best of luck to both of the contestants.
