MKA students claim third place in Montclair State University's Classics Day!

Congratulations to the students in Latin 3 Honors and Latin 4 Honors who attended Montclair State University's Classics Day 2016, held on Friday, November 4. Six of these students (Sydney Abraham, Gianna Balonze, Aashik Bhalodia, Haley Blank, Hannah Gross, and Elizabeth Squires) also represented MKA in the multiple-choice competition which is a part of the event. After all the students attended two morning lectures, the first on electioneering in the ancient and modern worlds and the second on the battle of Ilerda during the civil war between Caesar and Pompey, these six students competed as a team against other schools to test their knowledge of Roman Civilization, Latin Grammar, and Classical Mythology, and they emerged victorious with an impressive third-place finish. MKA's continuing success in the Classics Day competition is a reflection of our students' commitment to the study of the ancient Roman world, as well as a testament to the strength and vitality of the Latin program at both the Middle and the Upper Schools.
