Ramona challenge makes a comeback

More than 20 years ago, Ramona Convent Secondary School began hosting its annual Ramona Challenge. Along with its local partner schools, Ramona holds this much anticipated event to give female students in the fifth to eighth grades an opportunity to participate in artistic, athletic, musical, and academic contests designed and staffed by faculty and students.

After a two year hiatus due to Covid, this Spring, Ramona was finally able to safely hold the annual “Challenge” and welcomed over 250 girls from nine local schools. All competitors were selected by their schools to compete in 17 different contests.

Our guests on campus for the day included teachers, principals, parents, and friends. The girls’ competitive spirit was fierce, yet everyone enjoyed a wonderful day in our warm and sunny weather. They especially appreciated cooling down with refreshing lemonade and ice cream treats. Food trucks offered a selection of tacos

and burgers, while guests and competitors listened to great music provided by student DJ’s. Not all participants went home with medals, however, everyone departed with ear to ear smiles and a taste of tiger spirit!

If your school is interested in participating in Ramona Challenge 2023, please contact Veronica Fernandez, Director of Marketing Communications, at (626) 282- 4151 or vfernandez@ramonaconvent.org.
