For the past couple weeks, Lauren has been practicing for her Wits Clash competition. I know this because the sessions are on Tuesdays after school – the same day I get to enjoy the company of the five princesses for a few hours.
Today, I got to see all that hard work pay off when St. Mary's School participated in the Wits Clash competition at St. Vincent de Paul School. Lauren's sixth grade glass squared off against other schools for three hours of questions-and-answers about science, math, literature and geography. Unfortunately, St. Mary's struggled at times, losing all five of its matches. But after sitting out the first match, Lauren consistently came up with answers to some pretty hard questions.
It was nice to see Lauren "back in competition" after a few years away (she last did something competitive in extracurricular activities when she played soccer at St. Thomas More). And fortunately, there will be more Wits Clash competitions next spring.
