Bolles Students Excel at Latin Forum
The Bolles School hosted the 47th annual Regional Latin Forum January 30 on the San Jose Campus. Over 450 students from 11 local high schools attended, including over 150 Bolles middle and upper school students.
The Latin Forum included a variety of written tests, student-made projects, athletic contests, mythological costumes, and team “Jeopardy”. The Bolles middle and upper school students competed well in all areas.
“They represented Bolles well in their hosting of the event, friendly competition, and cooperative behavior,” commented Bolles Latin teacher Ginny Greenland. “Our parents were out in force, with more than 100 from both campuses judging, proctoring, and serving lunch. Our annual tradition of providing homemade brownies to all our guests is now referred to as the mountain of brownies – and talked about long after Forum is over. My Latin colleagues, Meredith Sitz and Steven Stam, and I are very proud of all the students.”
