Students take academic prizes at State Latin Day

Posted on May 20, 2005
Thirty four toga-clad Lauralton students along with Latin teachers Mary Koehm and JoAnne Piedmont participated in State Latin Day on May 17 at Holiday Hill in Cheshire. Sponsored by the Connecticut Classical Association, this event annually brings together more than two thousand students of Latin and Greek from all over the state. Academic tests, sporting events, craft workshops, lectures and dramatic presentations keep students in a classical mood. The day gives both teachers and students an opportunity to meet with other classicists and see what kinds of things they are doing. School banners display great artistry and creativity while the chariot races test not only the runners’ speed but also the durability of their vehicles.
