Student Trivia Challenge Scheduled for Middle and High School Students

The Medfield Coalition for Public Education is pleased to host a new event for the students of Medfield in grades 6-12: it is a trivia event that promises to be fast-paced and humor-filled, testing students’ knowledge in geography, sports, music, pop culture and more. It will be held on Monday, November 10th in the high school cafeteria.

Teams of four will compete for great prizes in either the middle school or high school division, and the cost is $40 per team. Each registrant will receive a free raffle ticket for a chance to win a $50 Visa gift card. Additional raffle tickets may be purchased at the event (1 for $1 or 6 for $5). The winner need not be present to win.

The middle school student check-in is scheduled for 3:00, and the trivia event will run from 3:30-4:30. Likewise, the high school check-in is scheduled for 4:30, and the event will run from 5:00-6:00. Please note, there is no school on Tuesday, November 11th in recognition of Veterans Day.

“We are really excited about this new event,” said Michelle Barrette, MCPE Vice President and chairman of the trivia events. “The students are excited that there i’s a trivia event for their age group. Plus, there are several teams of teachers from both the high school and middle school who are going to compete as well. I think their involvement will increase both the challenge and the fun. If you’re interested in registering a team, please go to our web site, MedfieldCoalition.org.”

MCPE will be running not only the Student Trivia Challenge this November, but also the second annual MCPE Community Trivia Night.

“Last year we ran a very successful trivia event for the over 21 crowd,” said Kim Price Co-President of MCPE. “We attracted an eclectic group of folks from across our community, and it was truly a great night. As a result, we decided to run another event this year, on Saturday, November 14th. We are working with a new trivia company: Putterboy Productions. We are pleased to say that this event has sold out, but if people are interested in participating and didn’’t register in time, we suggest that they add their names to the waiting list, as we did have teams cancel last year.”

“We also encourage people to purchase tickets for our amazing Legacy Place gift basket, valued at over $450,” Price added. “Tickets can be purchased in advance on our web site, MedfieldCoalition.org, and the winner need not be present to win. Proceeds from all of the events will be used by MCPE to support public education in Medfield.”
