Coming Soon! - Jones Magnet Family Bowling Night
Coming up October 7
We are thrilled to invite you to our STEM Bowling Party! Bandera Bowling needs a preliminary headcount for lane reservations. Please RSVP by September 29th. This is a soft RSVP, so if an additional sibling would like to join us on the day of the party, they are more than welcome. You will pay Bandera Bowling based on the actual number of students and siblings attending. Parents can also bowl; however, there is no fee for those who choose not to participate.
Location: Bandera Bowling, 6700 Huebner Road, San Antonio, TX 78238
Date: Tuesday, October 7th, 2025
Cost: $6.50 (includes 2 games and shoe rental)
