Southview is a school in the St. Louis Special School District educating students from 5-21 years old and this past Friday the Southview PTO held their (I think) second annual Trivia Night.

At BIS we have more than a few clients that attend Southview and so we organized a table to partake in the fundraising.

Our table struggled the first few rounds of the night and were in 21st or 22nd place after the first two rounds but there really wasn’t that many points separating us from the front runners. Over the next few rounds we worked our way up to 14th and when we made it up to 9th (and only 7 or 8 points out of first) we thought we might have a chance to comeback and win it in the final three or four rounds.

After a strong Name-of-Pastas round and with the Movie round coming up it was our time to shine and we knew we had a chance to make up considerable points but unfortunately the movie round was a gimme as most teams were able to score in the 8-10 range. We aced it but weren’t able to make up enough points to finish any better than 8th.

All in all it was a great night that included a David Bowie and Lost reference, which immediately made it a successful night in my book. It looked like everyone, not just our table, had enjoyed themselves thoroughly and I just want to thank Jane Chickey for organizing the even and working so had to make the night what it was.

We’ll be back for their next Trivia Night and we hope you’ll consider getting in on the action; it was a lot of fun. Stay tuned to the BIS Blog and we’ll let you know about the next Trivia Night as well as other local events supporting the St. Louis developmental disabilities community.
