Stephen Miranda, a top performing student from Long Island, developed an eight week curriculum Lingua Latina Magna Est for 5th graders at three local elementary schools. Stephen's aim was to increase interest in the Latin programs available at the middle and high school levels in his hometown. His efforts were so well received that these schools decided to instate his curriculum in an annually recurring enrichment program. He has studied both Latin and Greek from Dr. Anthony Pontone.
