Convention
We have two convention tryouts scheduled for after school on Wednesday, March 30:
1. Olympika / Chariot Race - Coach Torrey's office
2. Mythology Spelling Bee - S2
Anyone who is interested in these activities but who is unable to attend these meetings needs to notify Coach Torrey or Mr. Sellers ASAP.
Students should be advised of convention scheduling conflicts. The Mythology Spelling Bee overlaps with the second half of Academic Testing, and Olympika overlaps with Certamen.
All students who are attending the convention are reminded to take advantage of the study guides and resources we have posted on the Latin Contests page on Haiku.
