χαίρετε, ὠ πάντες! ὄνομα μοι ἐστι Διδασκαλὸς Κέφιν Ἰεπφερσον.
Hey there! My name is Kevin Jefferson, and this will be my eighth summer teaching Ancient Greek at Latin Academy. I'm pretty much a nerd for Greek... I loved it so much in college and grad school that I just had to keep reading it more and more. And I think you'll love it too! More info to come about that language with the squiggly letters soon! During the regular school year, I teach Latin and Mythology at St. Stephen's and St. Agnes School in Alexandria, Virginia. I often spend my evenings in the kitchen (on the best of days there's fresh falafel!), and as I sit to write this I'm waiting for some bread dough to rise (baking bread is like magic!). I try to get out to Shenandoah National Park whenever I can to hike in the mountains. My two cats are named Noor and Fergus, and there are often foster kittens running around our spare bedroom. I attended GLA when I was in high school, and I had a blast meeting other Latin students and finding new things to do with the language. As a teacher, I keep coming back because of the people. It may only be three weeks, but there become strong community bonds between the students and the RA's and the teachers. Each academy is unique because of what each person brings to the table. So I can't wait to meet you all and see what we create together this summer! Mox vōs vidēbō! - Mr. Jefferson
