Students compete in Scholars’ Bowl

Sisters students from Sonrise Christian School tested their knowledge of history, science, math and religion against students from two other regional private schools on Thursday, April 7.

They battled it out in the third annual High Desert Christian Schools Scholars’ Bowl held at Sonrise Christian School.

This year’s competing schools were Trinity Lutheran School of Bend, Central Christian School of Redmond and Sonrise Christian School.

Students were challenged with questions from a variety of academic subjects inpreliminary rounds.

Trinity and Central faced off in a championship round after Central beat Sonrise in a close tie-breaker.

First place went to Trinity, second to Central and third to Sonrise.

Organizers noted the excellent sportsmanship of all the participating students and coaches

Sonrise is planning to invite home-school groups to participate in next year’s Scholars’ Bowl and to hold the competition a little earlier in spring to accommodate more schools’ schedules.
