On Friday, Dec. 11, 2020, 235 Latin students from the United States and China competed in our international Saturnalia Kahoot hosted by Excellence Through Classics (ETC).

Magistrae Traci Dougherty and Nava Cohen appeared in a livestream Zoom video with a very small live student audience featuring Sandy Run Middle School eighth grade students. See photos of the event here!

In addition to the filled Zoom Webinar Room, students were able to access a YouTube livestream of the Kahoot questions in real time. While there was a bit of lag on the livestream, the event was a success! Thank you all for your passion, patience, and understanding.
