WARSAW — With 51 correct answers out of 60, Intrasect Technologies won the 20th annual Warsaw Education Foundation Community Quiz Bowl.

Quiz Bowl attendees were asked to donate to a great need in Warsaw Community Schools. A newly created childcare facility, known as the Warsaw Early Learning Academy, was created at Warsaw Community High School for the children of WCS employees. Academy Director Lynette Hawn shared with the Foundation the need for age-appropriate reading materials for students ages six weeks to five years old at the Academy. Nearly $3,000 was raised of which $2,000 will be dedicated to filling the shelves with classic stories and books for young children. The rest will be used for Red Apple Grants to classroom teachers.

Lake City Bank was the bowl’s half-time sponsor. Maple Leaf Farms and Warsaw Morning Optimist Club served as valedictorian level sponsors. Esther Pfleiderer Charitable Trust/1st Source Bank, Hall and Marose Silveus/Silveus Insurance Group, Teachers Credit Union, Pam and Todd Weingart and Zimmer Biomet served as honor roll level sponsors.
