We did it, Romans. We proved that we can still learn, still challenge our brains and our bodies and still be a community even when apart. We are all still #RomansTogether and that is how we will maintain our resilience during this great challenge.
We will resume remote learning on Monday, April 6, and are currently planning to remain in a remote model until at least Friday, April 17. Given the changes in the last two weeks, I would like to refrain from setting a date for an in-person return to school until we have more information. I realize you have many questions about what lies ahead. Please share your thoughts here so we can best prepare for upcoming meetings and communications. I will be in touch the week of March 30, with information and more specific plans for the remainder of the school year.

Young students are natural artists and designers. The goal in the lower school is to support and further the development of their artistic skills, appreciation of art, all while celebrating diversity, identity and expression. JKers are exposed to art and artists from different cultures, backgrounds and abilities ~ from local artists to international superstars. The artists studied are used as inspiration and the springboards for students' own creations. A variety of materials are used - photographs, stickers, paint, cellophane, cardboard and oil pastels. The annual JK Art Museum is a way for students to showcase their knowledge by acting as docents for their invited guests.
Set aside the sibling rivalry and shine a spotlight on your family. Please share your photos of Latin siblings with the communications office for a fun social media post this spring. Thank you.
SCOREBOARD On Monday, March 9, Latin celebrated the US winter athletic teams at the Sports Banquet - and there was a lot to celebrate! Enjoy the recap on the season below and view more photos online.

Figure Skating Club Latin Figure skating club fielded both Varsity and Junior Varsity teams this season with 11 members from Latin, FWP and St. Ignatius. Both teams started successfully by placing 3rd in the Rockford competition, while placing 3rd in jumps, 3rd in moves in the field, and 2nd in spins. The Varsity team, led by Abigail M. and Ellie B., are looking forward to 2 more competitions in Oak Lawn and Evanston. The JV team led by Zoie Y. will also be competing in Evanston. JV team members include Avery B., Katie C. and McLaine L. In December the team performed an exhibition at the Winter Welcome Competition in Northbrook. The team also participated in the annual ice show at the Saddle & Cycle Club in February. We are so proud of our graduating senior captain, Abigail M. In February, Abigail passed her U.S. Figure Skating Senior Freestyle test making her a double Gold Medalist, in Freestyle and Moves in the Field. She was also awarded the U.S. Figure Skating Graduating Seniors Program Gold Level Award. We are excited for the future of this program, which provides a great opportunity for high school-aged skaters to continue participating in the sport in a team-oriented program.
Squash Club Latin squash competed frequently this season with many league matches and the annual trip to the High School National Championships. The team garnered praise from opponents and coaches for their positive competitive spirit on a regular basis. Big thank you to our Senior squash players. You will be missed!
Swimming The swim team had a record-breaking season. Senior Tucker Jones won the 100 breaststroke at sectionals with a time of 1:01.04, qualifying him to swim in the state competition. Tucker is Latin's first male swim state qualifier since 2013. At sectionals, the team placed 5th overall. Placing in the top 12 individually at sectionals and scoring points for Latin include:
In addition, all three relays had season best times by a wide margin. The 200 medley relay finished 5th, the 200 free relay finished 9th, and the 400 free relay finished 5th overall. Great job, Romans!
