21 Grant County Students Participate in 2014 D.A.R.T. Quiz Bowl

Seven Grant County schools were represented in this year’s competition: Eastbrook North Elementary, Swayzee Elementary, Park Elementary, Northview Elementary, RJ Baskett Middle School, Justice Intermediate School, and St. Paul Catholic School.
The Drug and Alcohol Quiz Bowl is sponsored each year by the Grant County Drug and Alcohol Resource Team (D.A.R.T.). The purpose of the annual event is to provide awareness and information to youth and parents on alcohol and drug abuse related issues. Judge Kenworthy was the Emcee for the event. The panel of Judges consisted of Chief Dave Gilbert from the Marion Police Department, Detective Tim Felver of the Marion Police Department and Larry Richardson of City Hall. The 5th Grade winner was Ian from Northview Elementary; and the 6th grade winner was Boston from Park Elementary. Each winner received 2 vouchers to redeem tickets to King’s Island from Via Credit Union along with Moe’s Bucks. Additionally, they are both eligible to participate in the Regional Quiz Bowl on April 19th in Fort Wayne, IN. This year’s runner ups were Emma, a 5th grade student from Swayzee Elementary, and Katelyn, a 6th grade student from Swayzee Elementary. Each Quiz Bowl participant received a prize pack containing items donated by local businesses and organizations.
