  • Today we have a Trivia Question: What phrase originated from the song "Doot Doot " by Skrilla, which became popular in video edits featuring professional basketball players, and especially LaMelo Ball?

  • The correct answer is: 6-7

  • What is Knowledge Bowl? Knowledge Bowl is a sport for the mind. It provides a format for student growth centered on academics.  With this in mind, we would love to have an energetic group of kids sign up to be part of Hastings’ Knowledge Bowl Team. Students practice answering trivia questions that will cover a variety of genres (English, science, history, math, current events, etc). Then we travel to different schools to compete in meets. At each meet, there is 1 written round followed by 3 oral rounds. Students compete against different teams from different schools in a fun and competitive environment with a chance to bring home trophies! And of course, there is always food at the meets. Knowledge Bowl is open to 5th through 8th graders. Mr. Busse is in charge of Knowledge Bowl. We will practice once a week after school (2:50-3:30 pm) in his classroom (251). An informational meeting for interested students will be on Tuesday, October 21st, from 2:50 to 3:30 in his room. Bring a friend and check it out!
