Ideas for Engagement

In regards to promoting engagement, I also have several ideas that would make our CAJCL community even stronger and more well-known to the public. First, we could have a theme of the month in which each chapter would have the opportunity to create a video celebrating the theme. Then at the end of the month, I would create a recap of what each chapter did. For example, April’s theme could be Rome’s birthday. Each school would have a month to host a birthday-themed event and film it. Then to give each chapter's local community an idea about how great CAJCL is, we could also have a publicity theme of the month. For example, December's theme could be "Saturnalia Service," in which students are encouraged to volunteer or start a holiday toy drive, and January's could be to host an all-things Latin day for non-Latin students to get an introduction into the wonderful world of Roman history, mythology, and the Latin language. With this system in place, CAJCL would be more well known among other communities and there would be more entries in the publicity competition at convention.
If I am elected I want to make participation within events at Convention, Ludi, and SCRAM more well-rounded. I know in previous years many kids attend the same activities every year, such as mosaic design and chariot racing. However, I want students to go to as many activities as possible to get the full experience. For example, I think that we could implement a point system. By having a sign-in spreadsheet or Google form at each activity, we could keep track of attendance and not only award a Convention MVP but also give prizes to the person who participated the most in academic, arts, or athletics.
