St. A's student in geography bee

Fifth-grader Isabella Bosetti and 99 other students from California gathered in Sacramento on Friday to compete in the state level of the National Geographic Geography Bee. Bosetti is the third student from St. Apollinaris in 15 years to compete at the state level.

In order to qualify for the state level, Bosetti had to beat out more than 60 St. Apollinaris fifth- through eighth-grade students. With the title of St. Apollinaris School Champion under her belt, Bosetti progressed on to take a written exam from National Geographic. Bosetti scored among the top 100 students in the state (based on qualifying test scores) and, therefore, qualified to represent St. Apollinaris School in Sacramento./Register
