MS Brain Bowl is BACK!

Interest meeting Tuesday, October 8th from 3:00 – 3:45 PM in room 230 (Mr. Voorn’s room)

Brain Bowl is a trivia competition for middle school students.  At the competition, students work in teams of 5 to buzz in with correct answers as fast as possible while competing against other schools from Colorado.  Brain Bowlers need to love trivia, watch Jeopardy, and demand that Trivial Pursuit gets played on every family game night.
