Matthew Kamm

Caribou Middle School eighth-grader among top 100 in state

    The National Geographic Society has notified Matthew Kamm, an eighth-grade student at Caribou Middle School, that he is one of the semi-finalists eligible to compete in the 2008 Maine Geographic Bee, sponsored by Plum Creek.

    Geography Bees were held in schools with fourth-through eighth-grade students throughout the state to determine each school’s Geographic Bee winner. School-level winners then took a qualifying test, which they submitted to the National Geographic Society. In each of the 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia, the Department of Defense Dependents Schools and the U.S. territories, the National Geographic Society invited students who had achieved the top 100 scores to compete at the state level.
    The 2008 Maine Geographic Beewas held Friday, April 4, at the Abromson Education Center on the campus of the University of Southern Maine, Portland.
    Matthew is the son of Jay and Carol Kamm of Caribou.
