Salvete Omnes Parentes! (Greetings All Parents!)
The Latin Club aka The Junior Classical League
I do ask that you encourage your child(ren) to join the Latin Club/Junior Classical League. In my experience teaching Latin, the Junior Classical League provides students with not only opportunities to make exceptional academic achievements, but also the opportunity to showcase a plethora of talents. I would like to inform you of some of the many benefits of membership:
- Each year in April, Latin students have the opportunity to meet with more than 1000 other Latin students across the state at the Latin convention at UNC Chapel Hill. Here students can participate in Academic tests, Academic Bowl Team (Certamen), Dramatic Arts, Visual Arts, and an Olympic Games.
- Each year the state takes a week long national convention to a major college and university to meet with 1600 students from across the nation.
- JCL gives out many thousands of dollars of scholarships to students who are going to college and have exhibited interest in the classics over their years in high school.
- The National Latin Exam and the Medusa National Mythology Exam are paid for by the dues (with options to take the National Etymology and Roman Civilization Exams).
JCL is FUN and gives many different types of students from diverse backgrounds a place in which they can make friends and share common interests.
We host fun social events for students every month throughout the school year.
