The Knowledge Bowl – tonight!
Posted February 2, 2012 at 8:02 am by Ian Byington
Last year's eighth graders came close....see you at the Community Theatre tonight!
Here’s the word from Rachel Anderson & the San Juan Island Public Schools Foundation – this is their big fundraiser each year, AND it’s fun:
The 18th annual Knowledge Bowl will be held on Thursday, February 2nd, at the Community Theatre. Our fabulous Friday Harbor Jazz Band will begin performing at 6:30 and the FH Middle School PTA will be offering baked treats in the lobby before and during the event.
The competition begins at 7pm. Student teams (8th graders, a team of freshmen/sophomores, and a team of junior/seniors) will go head to head with four local service group teams: Kiwanis, Soroptimists, Lions, and Rotary. Groups will match wits to answer tricky questions on a range of topics. The event is emceed this year by Brent Snow, with entertainment during intermission by the Jazz Band.
The Knowledge Bowl is presented each year by the San Juan Public Schools Foundation. Through its main fundraising events, the Phone-a-Thon and the Business Partnership Program in the school directory, the Foundation this year hopes to gift approximately $70,000 to supplement our local public education needs.
Tickets for this fun family event are $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for kids, and are available at the door the night of the event. Come and cheer on your favorite team!!
