On March 28th, we had the pleasure of hosting one of our favorite events: Trivia Night! An evening where parents, teachers, students, and friends alike were able to engage in three jam-packed hours of continuous trivia, with a side of healthy competition and a variety of delicious foods. Mrs. Jessica Bowen from AMSA was generous enough to organize the prizes as well as the trivia itself, not to mention being an amazing game moderator for the entire evening, so huge thanks to her! 

Throughout the evening, teams answered trivia from a total of 5 different categories with 10 questions each. The catch? They had to figure out the theme of each category for themselves, based on the questions they were presented with! Decoding the theme or pattern for each round would ultimately aid in answering each bonus question: A song whose title had something to do with the category. Let’s briefly go over what each one of those categories was!

Round 1: Bees (won by team who needs an IVY anyways?) All answers had something to do with our favorite little pollinators

Round 2: Rhymes (won by team Dr. Ludes’ glazed donuts) All answers rhymed/contained a rhyme, for example “walkie-talkie”

Round 3: Birds (won by team MAMS Shmams) All answers referenced some species of bird, or simply contained the word “bird” in them

Round 4: Four letters (won by team Scram) This one is fairly self-explanatory

Round 5: Essence of numbers (won by team Squeakers) All answers for questions 1-10 had something to do with the question number itself. For example, the answer to question 8 was a type of spider

In the end, team Who Needs an IVY Anyways? was our final winner! Mrs. Chase, Dylan Whiting, Hari Koornala, Justin Keyo, and Mrs. Ludes were able to rack up the most points by the end of the night, claiming victory for themselves… mwahahaha! If you didn’t participate this year, definitely consider joining next year. It’s a very low pressure yet entertaining environment to be in, and you have a good chance of winning some prizes as well! Mmmmmm… fast food gift cards…
