Scholarship Dinner 2020 was a stunning success. Together, we raised more than $1.6M for financial aid–setting new records for individual sponsorship, paddle raise and attendance! This beloved tradition showcased the spirit and generosity of the Latin community. Thank you again to our tireless volunteers, generous sponsors, gracious dinner hosts, and to everyone who made the night one to remember.
On Monday, March 9, Latin celebrated the upper school winter athletic teams at the Sports Banquet - and there was a lot to celebrate!
Seventh grade students approached learning about the respiratory system in a comic(al) way in Mr. Wheatley’s science class this year. To illustrate the journey oxygen takes through the environment into animals or plants, students created clever comic strips to show the cycle. This project was the culmination of a unit that included the study of the major respiratory organs, as well as how cells use oxygen to turn glucose into energy.
On January 31, 2020, Latin’s Athletic Hall of Fame was formally reignited with the induction of eight outstanding new members. The individuals ranged in age from the class of 1969 to the class of 2006 and represented a swath of Latin’s athletic offerings including: football, basketball, baseball, swimming, water polo, tennis, volleyball, track, cross country and soccer.
Take a look at the upper school's interpretation of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night."
