Mrs. Maggie Perry, one of St. Columba’s dedicated parents organized an after school Myth Club. Fourteen students from Grades 3-8 took the 2018 National Mythology Exam sponsored by the American Classical League. These students are Cruz Elizondo, Dominic Perry, Connor Fiorica, Amelie DelRosario, Araceli Vargas, Aaron Brown, Kaitlin Palma, Nikki Ballard, Carl Fiorica, Dylan Rodolfo, Colin Aston, Victoria Bustria, Elysa Elizondo, and Kent Vu. Depending on the student’s grade level, the National Mythology Exam consisted of 30-50 questions on the Olympian Gods, the theme of Ancient Beginnings, and the epic novel The Odyssey,  Book X.

Bronze, silver and gold medals went to students that earned 90-100% on the Exam. Bronze Medal recipients include 4^th grader Connor Fiorica, 6^th grader Carl Fiorica, and 7^th grader Elysa Elizondo (all 90%), 7^th grader Kent Vu (92%), and 5^th grader Kaitlin Palma (95%).  Gold Medal recipients include 3^rd grader Dominic Perry and 7^th grader Victoria Bustria (both 100%)!   Congratulations to all of these students for their motivation and love for the classics!
