This year at MassJCL's annual Classics Day students performed skits to show this year's theme, Greek and Roman Calendars. Boston Latin Academy delegates Amina A., Omar S., and Sadie K. (who is portraying a dying Caesar) perform their skit, which won 2nd place.

At FJCL Regionals, Morgan K. is filled with an endless amount of excitement as she receives her trophy for Best of Show in Greek Literature!

This year at NCJCL Fall Forum, gladiators came from across the state to establish their chapters dominance and prove that they were the strongest in all the land. Riverside came to the competition with two worthy delegates Caelius DeConto and Elijah Rodriguez. Unfortunately, each chapter can only send one delegate to the final competition and

thus a brutal duel began. Caelius on the left blocked each of Eli's strikes, and Eli dodged counter-attacks as if his life depended on it, and his life did. However, this was the battle to a metaphorical death, only one Riverside JCL delegate could reign supreme.
