On Sunday, March 18th, Centennial sent two teams to Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville to compete in an 18 team tournament. The A team comprised of seniors Emmy Alme and Jakob Boeye and sophomores Adam Knox and Peter Wilschke won first place, defeating Maggie Walker Government School from Richmond twice, as well as victories over both Montgomery Blair teams, GDS, Langley, and Churchill. On individual scoring, Jakob Boeye won a book prize for second place and Tobias Moser came in fifth place.
The prior Sunday, March 11th, at the Capital Regional Championship of History Bowl and Bee, the Centennial Varsity A Team comprised only by Jakob Boeye and freshman Anthony Duan came in second place. We defeated the perennial History Bowl champions Richard Montgomery twice during the tournament.
Congratulations to Alexandra Pavao. She was selected by Girl Scouts of Central Maryland as one of the 2018 Shadow Girls. She was given the opportunity to spend the day with a Distinguished Women Honoree.
Thank you everyone who contributed support of monetary donations or positive vibes for this past Friday's Zumbathon (3/16/18) hosted by She's the First and taught by outstanding professional instructor, Carolyn Forestiere. The Zumbathon was a great success! For two hours, we had a total of 31 participants sweating for girls education. We raised a total of $210! Everyone had a blast!
As many of you know our chapter at Centennial is currently sponsoring three girls: Roopa and Jayanthi in India, and Kimberly in Guatemala. We just got word from Kimberly and Roopa, they both participated in an activity in which they were asked the questions below. See their responses:
In their biannual letter to STF, Kimberly, Roopa, and her peers were asked:
How has the environment where you live changed over the last 10 years?
How does this affect people in your community?
How does educating girls create change in the environment?
This year She's the First is launching our first scholarship to a female senior graduate 2018, who is the first in her family to accomplish an outstanding academic achievement. Female seniors of Centennial High School will be able to apply for this scholarship in April 2018,the winner to be announced at CHS's 2018 senior award night.
