With this award, we honor Mr. Dennis Bartlow of Indiana for his 51 years of dedicated service to the NJCL. He has served the organization on every level— as a national officer; an advisor to the omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent NSCL; a member of the NJCL National Committee; and state chair for Indiana JCL. Though he passed away in May 2013, his passion for the classics continues to inspire us all. This award covers the NJCL Convention cost, with up to $500.00 for travel expenses (even though traveling isn’t much of a concern this year). Congratulations to: Megan Starses, AZ; Antoinette Bunch, IN; Saksham Saksena, TN; Kelly Brown, LA; Savannah Brown, FL; Amanda Iskander, NJ; Zoe Johnson, FL!
Dennis Bartlow Award
An enthusiastic, selfless, and dedicated Latin teacher, Ms. Nancy Howell of Tennessee has worked hard for many years to support her students in their endeavors. As a mentor to her local JCL chapter, she has inspired many students to be more involved in their classical studies. As a way to give thanks for her zealous efforts, Mr. Joseph DeHarde created this award in 2012 so that other students could experience similar opportunities as he. This award covers the cost of convention for a senior who has been to at least two NJCL conventions and their sponsor. A hearty congratulations to:
Molly Moran and sponsor Krystal Kubichek; Anna Davis, and sponsor Ren Beck; Joseph Burke and sponsor Ryan Collier.

This award is dedicated to Ms. Sherri Madden of North Carolina, who tirelessly pushes her students to do their best work, explore new things, and be comfortable outside their comfort zones. To exemplify this, she encourages her students to compete in many different categories of the convention. It is only fitting, therefore, that the winners of the Sherri Madden Convention Packet Award have four entries in at least three of the five main categories: Graphic Arts, Academic Testing, Creative Arts, Certamen, and Olympika. With this award, students and their sponsor or chaperone can win a free convention packet and up to $500 in travel expenses.
A hearty congratulations to:
Students: Jayla Smith, VA; Miles Vickers, IN; Sophia Winger, NC; Olivia Sheldon, OH; Richard Hernandez, NC; John Paul Hernandez, NC; Rebecca Lee, GA; Niels Armsbruster, WI
Sponsors and Chaperones: Sheila Vanderhoff, KY; Angela Hernandez, NC; Abigail Simone, TN
