In the fifth and sixth grade Roman banquet, students showcased their knowledge of Latin and Roman history and culture. Students wore traditional Roman costumes, and ate traditional foods of celebration and festivities, including cheese, fruit, and stew.  The event was a culmination of their first year of study at Washington Latin, and was organized by Ms. Rose and Ms. Starnes this year.

For the annual Penny Wars fundraiser, during lunch, each advisory will have a large water jug with the advisor’s name on it. Students will try to earn points for their advisory, by putting pennies in their advisories’ water jugs, and putting any currency that is greater than a penny in another advisory’s water jug. That will deduct the number of points from that advisory that the currency is worth. The Community Council will calculate the total points at the end of the Penny Wars, and the winning advisory in each grade will win an ice cream party!
