Success at the Texas State Junior Classical League
Fourteen Coram Deo students attended the Texas State Junior Classical League Convention on April 22-23 at Atascocita High School in Humble, Texas. It was a weekend filled with written contests, oral competitions, certamen (Latin quiz bowl), colloquia, and fun. Some students made blankets for a service project, learned about (and tasted) Roman food, played games, made a catapult, met and worked with students from other schools, and even competed in a talent contest.
