The Costello Fitness Center will close at 5pm on Th 3/11 and Fri 3/12.

No individual or team is allowed in the space after that time.

Please note that effective Monday, March 16, the lunch schedule rotates so that those students who have had first lunch most recently will head to second lunch, those with second lunch will have third lunch, and students who have had third lunch will go to first lunch:

• First Lunch: Modern Languages, English (Capstone)
• Second Lunch: Math, History
• Third Lunch: Classics, Arts and Music, Science

We want to remind young people of the importance of clearing tables completely at the conclusion of lunch. Those who enjoy lunch outside should pick up and dispose of all trash.

Boston Latin School is moving on to the Semifinals of Massachusetts High School Drama Festival! My Love Lies Frozen by Dead Rabbits Theatre is a piece about a trio of explorers trying to reach the North Pole in a hot air balloon and the woman who has a mental break when they don’t come back. It’s a beautiful 40 minute piece about the determination of the human spirit and the power of love. The right mix of hilarious and heartbreaking.

At the preliminary round we received All Star Company awards for acting for all four of our leads, for technical direction, and dramaturgy.

We will have encore school based performances on

• Thursday March 12 at 3pm and 7pm
• Friday March 13 at 3pm

Tickets available at our.show/lovelies or at the door.

Additionally we will be competing on March 14 at 9:30am at Marshfield High School for the Semifinals. Tickets will be available at metg.org shortly.

Students should vacate the dining hall at 7:25 every morning from Monday, March 9th – Friday March 13th (with the exception of Wednesday, March 11th) for National Latin Exam preparation.

Students who have not yet finished eating their breakfast will be asked to move to the senior section of the dining hall.

Thank you for your cooperation!
