Virginia's Knowledge Bowl
Virginia is part of Minnesota's northeast region of knowledge bowl. There are competitive levels of three teams each at elementary, junior high, junior varsity, and varsity. Each level has three different teams that compete from Virginia. Varsity teams have a chance to make it to state in Brainerd, Minnesota; but all of the other teams just compete in three meets in the area at the Lake Country building in Mountain Iron. Recently, in 2009 and 2010, Virginia sent a team to state knowledge bowl.

Famous quotes containing the words knowledge and/or bowl:
“The purifying, healing influence of literature, the dissipating of passions by knowledge and the written word, literature as the path to understanding, forgiveness and love, the redeeming might of the word, the literary spirit as the noblest manifestation of the spirit of man, the writer as perfected type, as saint.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“Fill high the bowl with Samian wine!
Our virgins dance beneath the shade—
I see their glorious black eyes shine;
But gazing on each glowing maid,
My own the burning tear-drop laves,
To think such breasts must suckle slaves.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
