Do you like trivia? Do you know a bunch of random facts? Are you a know-it-all, who actually knows it all? Consider joining the Paul Knox Academic Team!
What's the catch? There's no catch. We're looking for curious minds in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade who love trivia, history, science, literature, math, or basically anything interesting.
No experience necessary. Nerds, athletes, artists, musicians — if you can think, you can quiz.
Interested? Stop by Mrs. Parliament's room (102) or Mr. Knowles's room (111) to grab an application. Applications and teacher recommendations are due by Tuesday, August 4th.
