Oaks & Seedlings Bring the Energy with Trivia Showdown

This month’s Oaks and Seedlings gathering brought students together for a high-energy trivia competition that blended teamwork, knowledge, and a little friendly rivalry. 
Students from the Middle and Upper Schools were divided into 10 groups, each made up of their Oaks and Seedlings “families.” Throughout the event, these groups worked collaboratively to answer a wide range of trivia questions—testing everything from historical knowledge to everyday life skills. 
The competition built toward an exciting Championship Round, where the top teams faced off in a final challenge featuring BOK (Book of Knowledge) questions. The energy in the room rose as teams battled for the top spot. 
Some of the trivia questions included:
  • What body parts on a human never stop growing? (Ears and nose)
  • Who was the first U.S. President to be impeached? (Andrew Johnson)
  • What are the 5 P’s? (Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance)
  • Which side of the dinner setting holds the bread plate? (Left) 
In the end, one family emerged victorious and earned a well-deserved reward—a celebratory lunch together. 
Events like this continue to highlight the strength of the Oaks and Seedlings program, fostering mentorship, collaboration, and community across grade levels in a fun and engaging way.
