For the second year in a row, Ancient History, a team composed entirely of Greeley West social studies teachers, won IB Trivia Night. This year, they scored 61 points to defeat the eleven teams participating Friday night.

The 38th Parallel finished in second place while the Dank Memes @ thebomb.org tied for third place.

In addition to the trivia competition, teams performed a chant, competed for best spirit (won by Let’s Get Quizzical), and worked puzzles for free food and prizes.

IB game night was mainly organized by the International Baccalaureate Parent Organization’s (IBPO) fund committee including many of the parents of the children who partook in the games Friday. Pepper Mueller, Allison Sedlaceck, Amy Johnson, Arisbee Ramirez, and Jody Bobbitt were responsible for putting together this event with the help of Mrs. Amy Zulauf who acted as the MC through the duration of the night.

While the parents scampered from table to table to grade questions, Zulauf humored participants with jokes and zany wit.

Mueller was proud of how the event turned out, now in its second year. “This is just a fun event. Every year we try to encourage more and more teams to join because trivia night is open to the whole school even though we mostly get IB kids. We welcome anyone who wishes to participate,” Mueller said.

Lorenzo Balderrama, a junior and a member of the IB Marvelous team said, “It was so much fun playing against our friends, and being able to try to beat our teachers.”
