For the second year in a row, Oliver Carson, now a seventh grader, won the Oak Bluffs School Geography Bee sponsored by National Geographic. Oliver edged out sixth grader Ellie Hanjian in the final round by knowing that the tallest mountain in Africa is Mt. Kilimanjaro. Oliver has taken a written exam to try to qualify for the Massachusetts State Geography Bee which will take place in April. The winner from the state bee competes in Washington, D.C. in the National Geography Bee.
