Tempus Est Nunc!

6/23/2017

Twas the day before Academy, when all through Fox Hall,
all the creatures were stirring, and especially the staff.
The activities were planned, the classrooms prepared,
in hopes that the discipuli soon would be there.

We're excited to meet you all for the DIES PRIMUS of GLA 2017.

Cras vos videbimus in Ashland! We will see you all tomorrow in Ashland!

What a throwback! I'm excited to see what this blog has in store for me in the next few weeks and I wonder what sort of phrases this year's academy will use. Will they hold onto the certe's fortasse?

Salvete!

This blog will document the MMXVII session of the Virginia Governor's Latin Academy. After elections are held, the aediles will be responsible for its upkeep.
