10th Annual 'Get BArT Smart' Fundraiser Scheduled
ADAMS, Mass. — Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School is holding its annual fundraiser, "Get BArT Smart," on Saturday, April 8, from 6 to 9:30 p.m. at One Commercial St.
The event pits teams of four to six people against one another in fevered battles of trivia and SAT questions. Teams follow a "school-day schedule" and travel from classroom to classroom throughout the evening. Every classroom will also have faculty members present to keep "students" on task. There is a silent auction packed with unique items and packages for participants to bid on and a station to get their "school pics" taken between classes.
The winning team at the end of the night will be crowned "valedictorian" and, along with prizes, "win untold fame, fortune and adulation throughout Berkshire County."
Many of the questions throughout the evening come directly from the students' curriculum and past SAT exams.
"The competition is fierce and everyone has a blast," said Julia Bowen, executive director. "It's a really fun event and we receive a great deal of support from the community."
The event is the primary fundraiser for the school, proceeds of which directly benefit academic programming. Participants are asked to donate a minimum of $70 per person; admission includes a light dinner by Mezze Catering and a selection of beer and wine. The school invites companies to sponsor the event. Sign up here for your team.
