The First Annual Cambridge Rindge & Latin School Academic Competition seeks four representatives from the Agassiz neighborhood or Agassiz Baldwin Community programs to compete in this citywide tournament of smarts!

Do you remember all the elements on the periodic table? How about the formula for determining the length of an arc on a circle? Who was that president who served after Grover Cleveland? Questions similar to these (along with some challenging trivia ones) will be asked at the first annual Cambridge Rindge and Latin Community Academic Challenge entitled “Are You As Smart As A CRLS Student?”

This test of knowledge is scheduled for Thursday, March 29 from 7 to 9 PM in the school’s main cafeteria. Members of community organizations, schools, businesses and neighborhood groups are invited to enter teams of four colleagues to challenge teams of CRLS students in this exceptional battle of the brains. Individuals are also welcome to register by themselves and will join others that night in creating a team. Trophies and prizes will be awarded. Please note; no life-lines, phone a friend or smart phones are allowed.

The evening is part of Celebrate CRLS, a year long program designed to better inform everyone in the city about the newly renovated high school and all its fantastic offerings and accomplishments. Music will be provided by the CRLS Jazz Ensemble and refreshments will be served.

From 6:00 to 7:00 that night tours of the building will be given to show people the many changes to the school since the completion of the renovation this past September.

For more information about the evening and to register your team, contact Henry Lukas, retired CRLS Assistant Principal at henryjlukas@hotmail.com.
