Salvete!
Today we enjoyed our penultimate round of Latin classes, followed by what might be our final play practice not on stage and our final Mercatus Traiani preparation session. Then we had our second Latin dinner and enjoyed a showing of the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? Things are definitely winding down, but we are still making memories to treasure! Attached below is a selfie Quill Theater took of the audience at last Friday's performance of The Merchant of Venice. We aren't hard to miss! Well, at least not in the photo. In your hearts, maybe, but the weekend and the closing of Academy is approaching fast. Refer to Ms. Wilkins's post for details on the timing of the play and closing ceremonies. Valete!
