Every year, Mr. V and I take a group of Latin students on a field trip to an art museum to look at Classical art pieces and enjoy some lunch together.  It is a intellectually stimulating day of cultural enrichment and camaraderie that we look forward to every spring.  For many years, we visited the San Antonio Museum of Art, but in 2019, we visited the Blanton Art Museum and the Ransom Center - a facility that collects culturally and historically significant artifacts - both located on the campus of UT Austin.  We had originally planned to alternate trips to SAMA and Austin going forward, but COVID got in the way...until now.

For our trip this spring, on Saturday, April 27, 2024 (8:30-6:30), we will hop on a school bus and return to UT Austin.  We will spend the day looking at great Classical art at the Blanton and examining special pieces (like an edition of Vergil's poetry from the 1200s) from the Ransom Center.  We'll also have lunch on the "Drag" (Guadalupe St.) and have an informal walking tour of the UT campus.  If you go, you'll need to bring $5.00 for museum admission and some money for lunch.

This trip is open to all HCHS Latin students, not just club members.  However, because of the limitations of group size, we can take no more than 32 students on this trip.  If you want to go on this field trip, here's what you need to do:

1. A sign up sheet will be available in the Latin room (218) starting this Friday, April 12, in the morning.

2. Sign up on the sheet to get a permission form.  You CANNOT sign up other people, just yourself.

3. The first 32 students to turn in their completed, signed permission form starting the following Monday, April 15, will secure a spot on the trip.  You cannot turn it in earlier than Monday.

N.B. If you turn in your form after 32 submissions have been reached, you will be added to a waitlist.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  We hope you can join us!
