Final Festivus Reminders

Final instructions / reminders for MUS students attending the Festivus next weekend are posted here.

Festivus Lists

There are two lists posted below: (1) the list of MUS students who have signed up to attend the Festivus and (2) the list of specific events that students have signed up for.

We still have room in the Holiday Card Contest, Costume Contest, and Catapult Contest.  Since we have a large number of students interested in the Mythology Spelling Bee, we will have a qualifying round on Wednesday, November 13 at 2:20 PM in LS 106.  The top five spellers will make the Festivus cut.  The list of possible words (along with the study guides for the two academic tests) is posted here.

Shirts and Magnets Have Arrived

All Latin Club members should pick these up in Mr. Suddarth's office ASAP.

Thanks again to senior Stephen Pacheco for his work on the T-shirt design this year.

Festivus - Academic Testing Study Guides

The vocabulary test is still based on the official TJCL list, which is posted here.

The new test covers Latin phrases, and the study guide is posted here.

Everyone who wants to attend the Festivus needs to sign up by Thursday, October 31.  The event will be Saturday, November 16.

Festivus Sign-Up

It is time to sign up for the Latin Fall Festivus (information posted here).  This event is open to any student who has joined the Latin Club.

To sign up, a student should simply tell his Latin teacher that he will attend the event.  There is no money to pay or form to fill out.

All MUS students will be expected to take both academic tests at the Festivus.  Other competitive events at the Festivus are optional.

Please sign up by Thursday, October 31.

We need some parents to help with a couple of aspects of the Festivus (the teacher hospitality room and the student game / snack room).  If you would like to volunteer, please contact Mrs. Reinhardt.
