Quiz Bowl

Sponsor: Mrs. Walters

v                 Open to any student that attends the St. James Middle School.

v                 The meetings will be held every week on Monday after school from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. unless cancelled via school announcements.  (Rides must be here by 4:40 p.m., otherwise, you will not be allowed to participate.)

What to expect:

This is a formal group that meets once a week to practice answering questions by using a buzzer set like in a game show.  Students will sometimes answer questions on paper or on a computer as well.   

The St. James Middle School hosts a tournament in March or April that four to eight schools attend.  (I can definitely use parent volunteers to make this possible.)

I am hoping that other schools will hold a tournament this year. 

In the past I have been able to schedule another school to come play an informal meet during our regular practice time (this depends a lot on the school’s funding for the year and gas prices). 

You must attend at least 10 times to be considered a member of Quiz Bowl.  If a student can’t make it to a meeting, they should let me know.  Attendance is important!  To participate in this club, you must have acceptable grades and behavior as discussed in the Student Handbook under the heading Extracurricular Activities.
