A big congratulations to Benj Rogers, the 8th grade National Geography Bee Champion for Sandpoint Middle School. Benj and 7th grader, Alex Liddiard, used their geographical skills in this friendly competition. Ultimately, Benj won the contest when he correctly answered the question: The endangered snow leopard is being protected in the Annapurna Conservation Area, which include the Annapurna Massif in which Asian country?
