AP Latin Sheets

By Mr. Sellers on April 28, 2008 6:02 PM |

These need to be turned in to the Latin office -- complete with both parent and student signatures -- by Friday, May 2.  When you turn this in, you will receive your summer assignment packet. 

 

In response to the question of which version of the Aeneid to read over the summer, I would recommend the Penguin edition, translated by David West (http://www.amazon.com/Aeneid-Penguin-Classics-Virgil/dp/0140449329).

2008 National JCL Convention

By Mr. Sellers on April 13, 2008 3:29 PM |
The 2008 NJCL Convention is scheduled for July 28 - August 2 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.  The cost of attending the convention itself is $400 and must be paid in full by May 1.  (This is non-refundable.)  

Travel expenses will depend on the size of our delegation.  If we have a very small group, we could either take Mrs. Reinhardt's van or fly (at a cost of about $325 per person), but if we have a medium-sized group, we would probably need to rent a larger van (at a cost of about $100-200 per person).  

Any student who wishes to attend the national convention needs to let me know by Friday, April 25.  This event is open to any JCL member who attended the state convention and who has enrolled in Latin for next year.

More information is available at the NJCL website.
