The Jonathan Law Latin Club meets every Thursday after school in Room 203.

These meetings are filled with Roman culture along with plans for fundraisers and field trips. Latin Club advisor Ms. Furs, came up with this year’s fundraiser which is to dress an administrator in a toga. 

This fundraiser will begin on October 1.

“Personally I was picturing Mr. Nigretti strutting around in a toga, and I don’t know about you, but that’s something I’d pay to see,” Latin Club President and junior Brianna Fraccola said. “This fundraiser is something fun and Roman themed, as an administrator would be wearing a toga.”

Events like these come from the community Latin Club. You don’t have to act like you’re something you’re not, it’s a very accepting community.

“Latin Club is a fun, chill environment where we can express out passion for Latin and the ancient world, we are a group of like minded people who all love Latin,” Latin Club Co-President and junior Rachna Vipparla said.

“Latin Club feels more like a get together of friends, the close knit, banter filled, lovely group of people,” Fraccola said. “What I gain is the feeling of belonging to a group of people where I can be myself, no judgement.”

There are many activities that go on within Latin Club from their fundraisers to their field trips. This year, they plan on trying again to go to Holiday Hill. As well going to the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

“I helped to start the Latin Club two years ago with the interest of my Latin 3 students at the time,” Furst said. 

Furst said she hopes the club continues to grow each year.

“My goal is that students will be able to participate and share the love of ancient languages with students around them,” Furst said. “I hope to incorporate students into the Latin Honor Society and to continue to grow an interest in a subject that is sometimes forgotten.”

In Latin Club, students not only get an indication of what the Roman culture was like, but they also look at the architecture and what types of foods they ate. They also get to hang out with friends and meet new people.

Students don’t have to be enrolled in Latin to join the club. Also, the meetings only last from 10 to 30 minutes.
