Southwest Japanese World Language Students Placed Second Japan Bowl

Thirteen Southwest Japanese students participated in the J-Quiz at Normandale Community College. 

This is a bi-state competition to test the ability of high school students in Minnesota and Northern Wisconsin who are studying the Japanese language.  It is modeled on a quiz show format and aims to make the study of Japanese challenging and enjoyable.  There were three levels: level II, level III and level IV in this competition. 

The Southwest level VI-A students got second place in their category.
