5.       7th graders,  are you aware that Hamlet is not a small ham?  Do you realize that FOIL is used both in math and fencing, but that you can’t do math with a fencing foil, and if you try to fence with a math foil you’ll lose – badly?  When someone says “epic” do you think of Homer?  Do you realize the last question has nothing to do with the Simpsons? Do you know a lot of stuff?  Then do we have something for you!  7th grade knowledge bowl!  A second round of tryouts is this Friday during activity period in room 115 – Mr. Erwin’s room.  Bring your lunch in case tryouts run into lunch period.
