Knowledge Bowl 2014

The 2013 Knowledge Bowl champion was the FHHS Freshmen/Sophomore team (L-R Mady Schroeder, Max Haenel and Echo Wood. Not pictured: Dalton Ayers).

The 20th annual Knowledge Bowl will be held on Tuesday February 11th, at the Community Theatre. The competition begins at 7 PM. Three student teams (FHMS 8th graders, FHHS freshmen/sophomores and FHHS juniors/seniors) go head to head with four local service group teams: Kiwanis, Soroptimists, Lions, and Rotary. The four-person teams will match wits to answer tricky trivia questions on a broad range of topics.

Doors open at 6:30 pm and our fabulous FHHS Jazz Band will begin performing at 6:45. The FHES music class will be demonstrating their new ukuleles in the lobby before hand. The event is emceed again this year by Brent Snow, SJI School Board President, with more Jazz Band entertainment during intermission. The FHMS PTA will be offering baked treats in the lobby before and during the event, and there will also be a silent auction.

The Knowledge Bowl is presented each year by the San Juan Public Schools Foundation Board. Through its main fundraising events, the Phone-a-Thon and Business Partnership Program in the school directory, the Foundation this year has raised over $100,000 to supplement our local public education needs. Since 1994, community support of the SJJPF mission now totals over one million dollars.

Tickets for this fun family event are $5 for adults and $3 for children, and are available at the door the night of the event. Come and cheer on your favorite team!
