Quiz Bowl
Some teachers at Kings Junior High want-
ed a better way for students to review
previously learned material. Something
that would be fun and engaging.
So team leaders Brent Allen, Mike San
Marco, Erik Poggi, and Matt Knott came
up with the idea of Quiz Bowl. Organized
much like a game show, Quiz Bowl takes
nine teams of three students each and
matches them up in a battle of
knowledge. Students are asked questions
about math, science, language arts, history, and social studies.
Thanks to a grant from the Great Cincinnati Foundation, KJH was able
to purchase a wireless buzzer system for this game. After a question
was read students buzzed in. The team with the fastest buzzer and
correct answer scored a point. Each KJH Team (White, Red, and Blue)
had three competitive teams (A, B, and
C).
At the end of the first match the White
Team emerged victorious. This was based
on the combined score of the White
Team’s three competitive teams. The
team of Ethan Cain, Julianna Powers, and
Jonathan Moster (8 Blue) were the overall
champions.
“This was a first attempt, but it went
amazingly well,” Mr. Allen said. They are
already brainstorming ways to make it
better. The plans are to host four Quiz Bowls each year.
“The students were very excited to participate and the audience had
tracking sheets so they could follow along,” Mr. Allen said.
This will certainly become a new tradition at KJH.
Sharing an Interest
Students in Diane Wallace’s class at J.F. Burns Elemen-tary are authors.
They researched a topic of interest, then wrote a book full of facts and illus-trations.
The students’ inter-ests were varied.
They wrote about the Titanic, the Civil War, dogs, myth-ological creatures, famous landmarks, singers, animals, and more.
When the project was finished students shared their sto-ries with students in Wendy Flynn’s third grade class.
Pictured are: Prakash Balasubramanian and Isaac Moore. Prakash’s book was called Animals in the Desert.

El Dia De Los Reyes Magos
During the first week back from winter break students in
Rhonda Allen-Harman’s Spanish III class at Kings High School
learned about El dia de los reyes magos, or Three Kings Day.
This is a holiday celebrated in many Spanish speaking coun-
tries on January 6. The students wrote letters in Spanish to
the Three Kings. They also baked rosca de reyes (king cake)
to top off the celebration.
Students are applying the processes of science to investigate motion. On Monday, Jan. 14, students were demonstrating that the change in motion of an object is related to the size
of the force applied. They were predicting the distances different objects would move with a small force and larger
force, then applied forces and measured the re-sults. Students were also trying to find out if an object’s
mass had an effect on the distance it moved. Pictured are Adrianna Fuentes and Deslyn Dixon.
Superintendent Dr. Valerie Browning and Treasurer Mike
Mowery will present:
What is the district’s current financial situation?
What is the district’s financial future?
How is the district working to control costs?
A brief question and answer session will immediately follow the
presentation.
Board members and district administrators will be in attendance
to help answer questions.
