The Jonathan Law National Honor Society is preparing for the annual Brain Bowl on Friday, April 11. Advocate Editor-in-Chief Kayla Markowitz interviewed NHS President Madelyn Baranowsky about the event.

Kayla Markowitz: What is Brain Bowl?

Madelyn Baranowsky: Brain Bowl is a fun trivia-style competition between the grades and faculty at Law.  All of the money raised and donated leading up to the competition is given to Avery’s Little Army, an organization that supports pediatric brain cancer research.

KM: Why should students participate and donate to Brain Bowl?

MB: Not only should students be involved because it supports a great cause, but also because it is fun.  

KM: What is the purpose of Brain Bowl?

MB: The purpose of Brain Bowl is to raise money to donate to pediatric brain cancer research.

KM: How did NHS prepare for the Brain Bowl?

MB: Lots of time and effort go into preparing for the Brain Bowl. We need to design flyers, T-shirts, make a promotional video, and make a preliminary test to see who makes the teams. Then there is the setup on the actual day and making the questions we will be using for each round. Everything said and done, it’s super rewarding when we see how much we are able to donate.

KM: What is your favorite part about having The Brain Bowl annually?

MB: My favorite part is that every year we get to bring together students and staff to do something important and meaningful, while also getting to have fun.
