 16th Annual Knowledge Bowl

Thursday, February 5th, San Juan Community Theatre 7:00 p.m.

Tickets:  $5.00 adults, $3 students

The 16th Annual Knowledge Bowl will be held on Thursday, February 5 at The Community Theatre.  Competition starts at 7:00; come early to see our fabulous Friday Harbor Jazz Band (and some special guests)  perform beginning at 6:40 p.m.  Delicious bake sale treats will be provided by the Friday Harbor High School PTA.

The teams consist of an 8th grade team, a 9th& 10th grade team, and an 11th & 12th grade team, each going head to head with four local community service groups:  Kiwanis, Soroptomists, Lions, and Rotary Club.  Teams will match wits to answer tricky trivia questions on a range of topics, from physics to local history.

This year’s event will be emceed by Friday Harbor High School’s own Marc Vermeire.  New this year is a costume contest between the teams – fabulous prizes will be awarded to the most festively attired team!

The Knowledge Bowl is presented each year by the San Juan Public Schools Foundation.  Through its two main fundraisers, the Phone-a-Thon and the Business Partnership Program, the Foundation raises money to support local public education.  Last year the Foundation added the SOS campaign, which raised an astounding $537,648 during the school budget crisis to preserve our schools’ staffing, sports, and class sizes for 2008/2009.

We are looking forward to a particularly fun and lively contest this year – come and cheer on your favorite team!
