GRANTS AWARDED FOR 2022-2023
Paige Receveur, $100; To support the AZJCL Fall Forum (Masks, Astronomy, and Service) in November 2022 at Arizona State University. At this Forum, students rotated between various stations where they explored different facets of Latin. Presentations were given on Latin in modern media, Hellenistic astronomy, and even a service project for Phoenix Children’s Hospital where AZJCL students made coloring packets. The ETC grant aided with a station about ancient theater masks. Students learned about ancient theater and why the Greeks used masks in their performances. Students then got to create their own skits based on Latin or Greek culture and make their own character masks to add authenticity to their performances. There were 320 students that got the opportunity to participate at Fall Forum in such an amazing opportunity!
