The 22nd annual Knowledge Bowl will be held on Monday, February 8, at the Community Theatre at 7 p.m. The fabulous Friday Harbor High School Jazz Band will begin performing at 6:30 and the Friday Harbor Middle School Parent Teacher Association will be offering baked treats in the lobby before and during the event.

There will be raffle items during intermission as well. School teams consist of the eighth graders, a team of freshmen and sophomores, and one of juniors and seniors. These students will be going 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 in this family-friendly game of trivia. Join the fun, and see if you can answer the questions! The event is emceed this year again by Brent Snow, school board member, 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 Business Partnership Program in the school directory, the foundation this year has donated over $100,000 to supplement our local public education needs!

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.
