Winter time means time for The Philadelphia Classical Competition, sponsored by the Philadelphia Classical Society!  Grades 6-12 are busily working on original poems or stories in Latin or English inspired by classical mythology, history, or literature, for the Sixty-Ninth Annual Latin Week Competition.  Because creative writing involves so many revisions to get the entries into good and proper form, these pieces are written over a period of several weeks.  Our students have also completed Greek Pottery to be entered into the art portion of the competition, and we are working on posters with this year’s theme of “love” as expressed in classical mottoes in latin.  Students are encouraged to build models for the model category, or make classical jewelry or clothing items.  Judging will take place at the Baldwin school in February.
