History Bee Winners Headed to Regionals
Ten middle school students have qualified to compete at the regional level of the National History Bee, which will be held in Darien, Connecticut, on April 20.
The students — Aaron Held, Ameen Khan, Andrew Patterson, Sapphire Perada, Mattea Rabeno, Micheala Rabeno, Grant Samara, Pina Than, Lucas Welinder and Peggy Yin — were selected to advance based on their scores on the online qualifying exam.
Seventh-grader Welinder also earned the title of schoolwide bee champion, and this will be his second time at the regional competition. As a sixth-grader, he advanced to the national round.
The Port Jefferson School District extends its congratulations to all of the National History Bee regional qualifiers.
