Abington Boosters Double Up on Teamwork Trivia! Nov.19, 2010

/in /by

Twice last year, twice this year. The Abington Boosters (HS parent group) had another jam-packed Teamwork Trivia Night on November 19, 2010. Led in part by Mary Rogers, the sold-out event raised thousands for the HS sports programs. The 250 people bid on Bruins tickets in a live auction. The 50 table items each had its own separate container, so people could bid on just the items that interested them. Each round was sponsored by a local business. The Jeffery Coombs Foundation, again, sponsored the whole event. Two trivia nights in 2009-2010 and two in 2010-2011 now make up the backbone of the Abington Boosters’ annual fundraising plans.

The competitive spirits ran high as the tables fought for the top spot. Although, some were disappointed that that they left out, ‘martini” in the “shaken not stirred” question. There were roars of satisfaction for “7th Heaven”, “Nascar’s Jimmy Johnson” and “Burr kills Hamilton”.

With fun team names like the Squaucking Heads, Trivia-Newton-John, the right side of the bridge, the Big Top, and the Fabulous Forties (the winning table) -place was packed. BTW, the 50/50 raffle handed the one lucky woman $580.00! Pine Grove’s Principal Nealon, wished everyone the best of luck as her table, the Questionnaires, made a good showing. In a close match, the top 10 tables were separated by less than 10 points! The ever-growing attendance has made this fun night out, a new Pine Grove tradition.

The E.E. Little School, North Reading PTO celebrates it’s 4th Annual Teamwork Trivia Night! Nov 6, 2010

/in /by

The Fourth Annual Teamwork Trivia Night was another sold-out success for the E.E. Little School PTO! Some tables dressed up their tables and themselves. In attendance were the “Chilean Miners” (w/ escape tube), the groovy 60’s/70’s table and the Patriots tail-gators. The Moose Lodge was barely big enough to fit the 250-plus parents and teachers who attended. The Silent Auction included prizes like ‘Principal for a Day’ and prime parking spaces. The raffle was stocked with great items like Bruins tix, gift baskets and gift certificates. A fun night out!

The Tobin School Goes “Half And Half”. 1/23/10

/in /by

The teachers from the Needham, Westwood and Natick locations enjoyed their first Teamwork Trivia Night on January 23, 2010. The plan included leaving time at the end of the evening for dancing. The plan was successful. The five rounds (instead of 7) of trivia were a fun battle between teachers at the different locations. After the gold medals were given out and the Chinese food was finished, tensions were released by dancing to, in this case, hits from the 80’a and early 90’s…. let’s just say, can’t touch this!
