Fall Festivus
Every year schools across West
Tennessee participate in the Fall
Festivus in November. This year’s
Fall Festivus was held in Memphis
University School. Fall Festivus is a
day of fun- illed for all cohorts of
Latin enthusiasts. Some of the
competitions include academic
tests (both vocabulary and
mythology), mythology spelling
bee, art competitions, costume
competitions, olympika, and even
STEM activities such as the
catapult. For the non-competitive
type, there is a movie with a
classical theme playing, with its
own trivia quiz. Overall, Fall
Festivus has something for all
kinds of people and gives a taste of
what TJCL state convention is like.
