"It's the Ultimate Battle of the Brains!"

Join us on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at 6 PM at the Rome City Auditorium, for our 4th Annual, "Are You Smarter Than A 3rd Grader? "Awareness Fundraiser.

Our rendition of “Are You Smarter than a 3rd Grader?” is taken from the well-known game show, “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?”, in which 8 local "celebrity" contestants test their knowledge against 3rd graders from Rome City Schools, Darlington, Floyd County Schools, Unity Christian School, Montessori School of Rome, Berry College Elementary School and St. Mary's School, to see how much they have forgotten since grade school in such subjects as language, math, geography, and social studies.

This event is a lighthearted, high energy evening of fun for the whole family.

The RFCCCY was established in 1989 to empower our children and youth to reach their full potential through collaboration, advocacy and visibility. We do this by partnering with agencies and families to ensure that Floyd County’s children grow up to be productive citizens.

Over the past 37 years, we have facilitated a cross sector Collaborative, planning and executing data driven initiatives intended to better outcomes for our local children, youth and their families.

Funds raised from this event will go directly to the Rome Floyd County Commission on Children and Youth (RFCCCY) and the work of its Collaborative. We invite you to consider partnering with us to bring necessary community awareness and raise essential funds to fuel the work of the RFCCCY Collaborative in addressing concerning patterns around mental health, poverty, school success, and family resilience.

We look forward to seeing you April 14, 2026!
