Students qualified for the Catholic Knowledge Bowl by participating in an on-line round through the O’Hara web site.
St. John’s team included Steven Gordon, Matthew Gordon, Corbett McKinney, Matthew Mader, Jacquie Whalen and Brittany McIntyr. Mrs. Anna Opie coached the team. St. John La Lande School is located in Blue Springs.
Our Lady of Presentation School’s team, comprised of Lindsey Valdiviez, Claire Tadokoro, Kaydee Gabel, Gabriella Rizzi and Hilary Talken finished in second place with a score of 61 points.
