Latin I and Latin II/III students are invited to take the National Mythology Exam.  It will be administered in February (date to be announced next week.)  It is a fun test that takes about an hour.  In the past, Ray students have done very well and have been recognized at the year-end Latin Gala.  It is NOT MANDATORY, but if your child loves mythology, I encourage him or her to take it.  Not doing so does not affect the students' grades.  It is purely for fun.  Access to a book of mythology (look in the library at Ray) is important in order to review for it.  D'Aulaires' "Book of Greek Myths" is the one the examiners recommend.    I will write more about this in a few days...
