On the third day of school, the Latin 1’s competed in Impromptu Art to introduce one of the fun activities JCL has to offer. The theme was the Ancient Sea and they had access to various colors of Playdough to make it happen.
The Latin 1’s really loved the activity and so many of them have become very involved in the club this year!
During the first three days of school we had a competition between our Latin II through AP Latin students judged by the Latin I Students! Each class was tasked with decorating a window with expo markers and every student in the winning class - 6th Period - received a mini trophy.
The officers gave a presentation to the Latin 1’s about the fun things we do in JCL.
