In related news, the district is seeking alumni to participate in an Alumni Red and Blue Quiz on Wednesday, February 19 to celebrate the school’s 150th anniversary.

“The Red and Blue Quiz has been an annual tradition for 36 years, going back to the 1988-89 school year. While our questions are about things students (should have) learned in school, YOUR questions will be about Jenkintown and the world in the time period you attended school here,” the district said in a post.
