Woodstock Students Attend Latin Day

High school students who study Latin (and some who studied ancient Greek!) participated in Vermont's Latin Day at UVM on Wednesday, April 16th. In addition to sharing great skits, some students had a tour of classically related art at the Fleming Museum, others were able to look through 400+ year-old books and manuscripts in Latin (and sometimes in Greek!) in UVM's special collections, and others had a tour of Latin inscriptions at UVM.

Others participated in breakout sessions where they reenacted a Roman "testudo" formation, some showed off their knowledge of the poet Ovid, others replayed an ancient battle on a gameboard, and a few very creative students participated in a costume contest. 

Finn Farrell, Sam Hauze, Hannah Allen, Tula Klock, Libby Fraga, and Lexi Gabardi put on an awesome skit about Hyacinthus and Apollo. As usual, ours was completely in Latin and very funny, and we earned 2nd place in the skit competition! They also brought their skit back to WUHS and presented it at Best Wednesday on April 9th. 

At Latin Day Alyssya Charbonneau won second place in the fiber craft category!

Tegan Miller and Owen Whalen represented our school in a live trivia (certamen) game, and Tegan's team walked away with first place. 

It was a great day full of fun and creativity that celebrated our interest in the ancient world!
