For two exhausting/exhilarating days, the Hinsdale South Team answered question after question during the 2013 Deaf Academic Bowl competition held at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C.
The team landed in 5th place among 20 teams. Both of my kids, Steven and Lauren, were on the team.
I had a proud mommy moment when Lauren was selected for the All-Star team. It was especially poignant because she had been attending two high schools this year, one which is a 30-40 minute ride away.
A big, huge thank you goes to the coaches, Jamie Nick and Kathy Craig, who have tirelessly practiced with the students.
The competition is conducted in American Sign Language, and deaf and hard of hearing kids from various educational settings compete in math, social studies, art, deaf studies and science.
