Congratulations to my Adam, who did a great job at our diocesan Academic Decathlon competition this weekend! This is Adam's first year on the team since he is a sixth grader. He was feeling a bit of pressure following in the footsteps of a big brother who was last year's team captain.
Looks like all of that hard work paid off! Adam placed second in his individual category, Current Events, and his team won many awards too. He walked away wearing three medals and carrying a ribbon, with a huge smile on his face.
Adam has been practicing for this event since November and spent the last several weeks memorizing events and names. Current Events is a challenging topic since the content is constantly developing. I'm so proud of the effort Adam put into his preparation and was thrilled to celebrate with him and his team!
