LATIN

Milton Latin wins 5th Consecutive State Championship!

Congratulation to the Milton students who participated in the 2023 Georgia Junior Classical League State Convention at Rock Eagle Georgia. This three day convention hosts academic and art contests for students from across the state. With over 600 students participating, Milton did exceptionally well, winning its 5th consecutive convention championship, this time in the small division. Here are the results:

Kudos to these fine scholarships for their commitment to academic excellence and representing Milton on the state stage. They really “Rep the M” to other enthusiasts of the Classics not only across Georgia, but across the entire nation. Their willingness to spend three days in the cabins at Rock Eagle is impressive. I cannot be complimentary enough of the audacity of their sagacity, or their volition to erudition.

Is your student ready for a side hustle?

If your teen is ready for a summer job, but not sure where to start, it’s time to download the Zilla app. Zilla, created by Atlanta-based tech startup BigFish Hatchery Inc., is the top-rated earnings app for teens. With Zilla, teens can build their part-time job around their interests and schedules by completing gigs for their families or a network of trusted neighbors or relatives. They can select from over 200 gigs, such as pet services, tech support, childcare, tutoring, pressure washing, or perhaps video & photo services. Your teen will learn valuable life skills while earning money and gaining confidence. You maintain full control over your teen’s account, with the ability to approve or decline all connections and gigs. Zilla is the modern-day first job for this generation’s teens.
