The Missouri Junior Classical League is part of the National Junior Classical League, an organization dedicated to promoting the study of Latin, Greek, and the classical world in high schools. The NJCL has over 50,000 members in the US, Canada, and Australia.

MOJCL sponsors a number of academic competitions for students of Latin, Greek, and Classical studies. We hold a state convention each year in April to celebrate our love of the Classics and to compete against other member schools. Our competitions include academic contests, as well as artistic, and athletic contests.

NJCL also awards a number of college scholarships and offer many other programs, such as the National Latin Honor Society, the JCL Pen Pal program, and the NJCL Creative Writing contest.

Dear Latin Students and Teachers,

Salvete! On behalf of the Missouri Junior Classical League, it is my pleasure to invite you to join and participate in one of the biggest and most esteemed student organizations in the world: The Missouri Junior Classical League.

Several benefits come with being a member of the MOJCL. Latin students can participate in diverse academic, artistic, and athletic competitions at local, state, and national levels. Numerous leadership opportunities are available to motivated students. In addition, teachers and sponsors may interact and exchange club ideas, teaching methods, and other advantages. This organization offers every member the opportunity to meet others who share a love for Classics, and with we I hope you will find a home like no other.

A chapter must be affiliated with both the NJCL and MOJCL to be in good standing. Sponsors must also be members of the American Classical League (ACL). MOJCL dues are $10.00 per chapter and $3.00 per member. NJCL dues are $2.00 per member. If NJCL dues are paid before December 1st, there is no chapter fee. If NJCL dues are paid after December 1st but before April 1st, there is a $10.00 chapter fee. If NJCL dues are paid after April 1st but before July 1st, there is a $20.00 chapter fee. MOJCL dues must be postmarked by December 1, 2019. You may continue to add members to your list after sending the first list by the given deadline.

I hope you will take advantage of all the magnificent opportunities presented by this illustrious organization. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. The MOJCL Executive Board, State Chairs, and other Sponsors are all looking forward to working with you this year!

e corde,

Liam Heffernan
