TJCL is offering some scholarship money for the upcoming state convention. As of now, no one has applied for the money.
If you'd like to apply, the deadline is next Friday, February 5. Follow the instructions outlined in the convention packet.
This film opens tomorrow. You can view the trailer here.
There will not be an MUS group outing to see this . . . for fairly obvious reasons!
I'll be sending off the application for this exam next week, so anyone who would like to take it needs to let me know ASAP. It's open to all levels of Latin.
This is sort of like the National Latin Exam, except that all of the questions pertain to classical mythology. This is good practice for the mythology exam at the TJCL convention, and it's also an opportunity to earn an impressive accolade for a resume / college application.
The exam will be administered at 2:30 PM on Wednesday, March 24.
Additional information may be found on the exam web site.
It's time to start preparing for the Latin convention.
An information sheet and permission slips are posted here. Parents and students both should read all of this information carefully.
You can find the official convention web page here.
Academic testing study guides are posted here. Log in with your MUS user ID and password and look under the "Latin-JCL" course listing. You may be prompted for an additional password to access the information. (Hint: Think of owls back in ancient Italy.)
The sign-up deadline is Tuesday, February 23. Please don't wait until the last minute!
As we begin the new quarter, it may be a good idea to review the requirements for the Latin Honor Society:
1. JCL membership
2. 92 average in a Lower School Latin class; 90 average in an Upper School Latin class. This grade will be determined by the average of these four numbers: 1Q, 2Q, SEM EX, 3Q.
3. Membership runs on a year-to-year basis; there is no "lifetime" membership.
The awards ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, April 7 at 7:00 PM.
