Chicago, IL-(ENEWSPF)- This came today from Marian Catholic regarding Sister Mary Jo Sobieck appearing Tuesday on Nickelodeon’s Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?

Marian Catholic’s own Sister Mary Jo Sobieck proved that she could throw a strike from a major league mound last August, but a new challenge has been presented — Is Sister Mary Jo Sobieck Smarter Than A 5th Grader?

Sister Mary Jo revisits the classroom to answer six questions on a variety of subjects from first through fourth grade, before moving on to the final round where she races against the clock to answer five questions taken from the fifth grade.

Tune into Nickelodeon tomorrow, Tuesday, June 11, at 6:00 p.m. CST to see if Sister Mary Jo is Smarter Than A 5th Grader!

On a personal note. Sister Mary Jo flew out for this appearance near the end of the school year. She teaches in the room next to mine, and I’m so happy for her over all of this.

And Marian Catholic.

She had to agree to not talk about this upcoming episode of the show, so, when she went for the taping, she could tell us nothing.

It’s been quite a year since Sister Mary Jo’s opening pitch at the White Sox.

The ride continues tomorrow, Tuesday.

Tune in!
