The Texas Geography Awareness Poster Contest, sponsored by the
Texas Alliance for Geographic Education (TAGE). This contest is
a wonderful chance for students to explore a geographic theme and
present their findings in a creative way.
Elementary students in
K-5 have many opportunities through Integrated Curriculum to
share their knowledge of geography throughout the school year.
We are
proud of all of our 2006 participants and their teachers who
accepted this geographic challenge!
