Palos South Trivia Night Provides Family Fun
Family Trivia Night at Palos South was a huge success.
Palos Park, IL March 9, 2015 – What was the name of the ancient Egyptian sun god? If you answered “Ra,” you would have fared well at Palos South Student Council’s annual Family Trivia Night. South’s cafeteria vibrated with chatter and music on March 4, as their successful annual Trivia Night drew 22 teams of over 200 participants.
Palos 118 staff and students from East, West, and South schools played through seven rounds of 10 questions from topics relating to science, literature, history, and pop-culture. Teams deposited their cell phones in a basket at the center of each table and got to work. “Trivia Crackers” was the winning team comprised of Melissa Ahluwalia, Suzy Evans, Karen McCarthy, Katie Zickert, Jennie O’Hara, Finn McCarthy, Ethan Zickert, Ian Kloehn, Danny Wysocki, Ryan Thomason, and Nate Jaabaay.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Illinois Association of Junior High Student Council’s (IAJHSC) state charity, Camps Count for Kids, which supports camp programs for middle level students throughout the state. Palos South’s Student Council is part of Northeast Lake District, which chose to support Camp Lions, a summer camp experience for blind and/or deaf children. Proceeds also help support the student council trip to the IAJHSC state convention in Springfield.
