Nationals Packing List
Dear MassJCL Delegates & Families,
Here is a Nationals Packing List that [Magistra] Moguel kindly took the time to put together. Please review this list, which also includes several important convention rules surrounding campus life, curfew, and dress code.
There are several unique convention items that are probably not on your usual travel lists, including your [UFO green] MassJCL State T-Shirt, several other themed shirts, semi-formal outfit for the [optional] Farewell Dance, and a toga/white bedsheet, so make sure to go over this carefully. Remember that if you do not have a State T-Shirt yet, I will give you one either at the Spirit Party on July 12th, at one of the remaining Certamen practices, or at the airport for you. Additionally, I will have togas available to borrow upon request at the Spirit Party. If you cannot make it to the Spirit Party, make sure to email me your request and I will bring it to the airport.
For the first time in several years, the dorms on campus WILL PROVIDE linens, consisting of sheets, pillow case, a blanket, and two towels. The dorms are air conditioned, so you may want to consider bringing an additional small blanket.
Please let me know if you have any questions about what to pack.
All the best,
Magister Howard [mhoward2@bostonpublicschools.org]

The Ultimate Certamen Library was actually made by one of our former webmasters, Jinwoo Kim! Jinwoo was our Technical Coordinator during the 2020-21 (remote!) school year.
