St. Teresa of Avila Hosts Family Trivia Night
On May 22, 2025, the gym at St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Elementary School was buzzing with excitement and community spirit as Grade 8 students from Kelly McCowell’s class hosted a lively and well-organized Family Trivia Night. Open to families and friends across the school community, the event welcomed over 25 registered teams and served more than 100 attendees.
The evening featured five engaging rounds of trivia, each packed with ten questions that tested knowledge, sparked laughter, and ignited a little friendly rivalry. The final round ended in a thrilling tie between a spirited family team and a determined group of staff members, highlighting not only the talent in the room, but the strong community connection between students, families, and faculty.
What made the evening truly special was the student leadership behind the scenes. Every Grade 8 student played a vital role in organizing, setting up, running, and hosting the event. Their teamwork, professionalism, and enthusiasm transformed the night into a memorable success.
“We wanted to create something fun for the whole community while also helping with our graduation costs,” said McCowell. “We’re proud of what we accomplished and how we worked together to make it happen.”
The event raised approximately $1,000 to support Grade 8 graduation expenses. But more importantly, it gave students a meaningful opportunity to shine, demonstrating responsibility, creativity, and collaboration in action.
Cheers to the Grade 8 students of St. Teresa of Avila and everyone who came out to support them. The night was a true celebration of community and a clear reflection of the bright futures ahead.
