Course Selection Sheets

It's time to think about foreign language course selection for next year.

Students should come to my office by the end of January to pick up a course selection sheet. These sheets should be signed by parents and returned by February 13, 2015.

Certamen

Latin One Certamen (Latin quiz bowl) begins next Wednesday, January 14 in LS 106. Starting then, we will practice every Wednesday and Friday morning from 7:15 to 8:00 AM. Practice will run all the way up to the Latin convention in mid-April.

Anyone who is a member of the Latin Club and who has maintained at least a B+ in Latin may try out for the team.
