Ursuline Update Ellie Miller, Ursuline Academy Ursuline Academy’s Latin Club has had an exciting year so far! Convention brainstorming has begun, and several projects are underway. Committees for each project have been formed and all are making great progress. Following the announcement and collection of club dues, 21 decided to become official members of Ursuline’s Latin Club, the OJCL, and the NJCL (2 more than last year!). We are excited to welcome these members into the JCL community! During our meetings, we have played certamen, competed in a classics- themed relay, and made marshmallow glires. In addition to these fun activities, we have used meeting time to begin convention planning and excitement! Just before the holidays, all of Ursuline’s language and culture clubs came together for a holiday meeting. Latin Club members had a great time learning about French, German, Spanish, and African traditions. While club members made Eiffel Tower ornaments and drank Mexican hot chocolate, Ellie Miller, our club president, manned an informational booth about Saturnalia along with laurel coloring pages and snacks. We can’t wait for these next months of fun and preparation leading up to convention! Top: Clu of r po g wi Sat li   po r s o c g t e na l e an c o n t a at d e of t i ev co ma at t e Lat bo .
