Thank you to the entire Latin School community that has supported the program for the last 34 years. |
EVENTS
Alumni and Parent Phonathons
The annual alumni and parent phonathons will take place Monday, Nov. 12 - Thursday, Nov. 15. For more information or to volunteer, please e-mail Kirsten Mallik at kmallik@latinschool.org.
Incognito
Michael Fosberg, actor and playwright, is bringing his one-man biographical show, Incognito, to Latin's Upper School on Thursday, Dec. 6.
In this show Fosberg recalls his personal journey when, as an adult, he discovered he was not the person he thought he was. It's a life-changing self discovery of family and race, and a personal historical odyssey in two opposite sides of the world.
Michael will do one show for the Upper School students at an afternoon assembly, as well as a workshop for eighth graders.
Scholarship Dinner

SPORTS
 Finishing first
Latin sophomore Julia Buford achieved several firsts for The Latin School's cross country team this season.
After becaming the first Latin female ever to win the state sectional competition as an individual, she was the first to win an all-state award at the state championship, finishing in the top 25 of all runners. Coming in at 18 minutes, 15 seconds, she broke the school's cross-country record for a three-mile race.
Congratulations, Julia! |

RECENT EVENTS
 Pajama Drive
Latin's three divisions collected a total of 530 pajamas last month to donate to the Pajama Program, a national organization that provides pjs to children, many of whom are waiting to be adopted. The organization works with 70 facilities throughout the Chicago area. The LS Pajama Drive was on Friday, Oct. 12, and students who donated a pair of new pajamas were permitted to wear their own pjs to school that day. |
