PORTLAND — Three students will represent the city's public schools in the 2010 Maine Geographic Bee on April 9.

They are Jacob Morrow-Spitzer, an eighth-grader at King Middle School; Margaret Parker, a seventh-grader at Lincoln Middle School; and Jacob Haas, a sixth-grader at Moore Middle School.

They will be among about 100 students in grades 4 through 8 who will compete in the state bee at the Abromson Community Education Center at the University of Southern Maine.

Elsewhere in Portland, Eamonn Dundon, a sixth-grader at the Breakwater School, also will compete in the state bee.

The state winner will receive $100, the “National Geographic Collegiate Atlas of the World” and a trip to Washington, D.C., to represent Maine in the 2010 National Geographic Bee on May 25-26.
