Trivia Night
Trivia Night is an annual fundraiser and community building activity. Teams of Ryan parents and teachers gather together (sometimes dressed in costumes!) to eat a potluck dinner and answer a fun variety of trivia questions. Trivia Night is a great way to meet new people, and connect with other Ryan parents and staff. There is also a silent auction and other activities and games. Be sure to check out the list of silent auction items (coming soon) and the flyer with a detailed description of what to expect too!
Don't miss out on this fun event!

What Parents are Saying about Trivia Night
"I was worried about not knowing people or not being good at trivia, but my worries were totally unfounded! We had a fabulous time! It was so fun to see so many Ryan teachers there having fun, too. A really fun and relaxed night. I encourage everyone to give it a try."
“We decided to attend Trivia night with no idea what to expect. What a pleasant surprise! It was not at ALL about the trivia! It was a silly, fun, bonding evening centered around raising funds for our amazing school. I was amazed at the support from the Ryan staff for the event, who all lent their talents, smiles, and open hands ;) Hang on to your wallets - you will be inspired to donate, and donate, and donate!!! And you'll have a blast while doing so.”
“Hands-down THE most fun fundraiser I've ever attended. For any school or organization. Anywhere. Last year, my sides hurt from laughing so hard.”
