Weekly Challenges

Bi-Weekly Challenges are a part of BDCJCL culture. Their purpose is to promote appreciation of the classical world and Latin language among children by incentivizing them with rewards. They were launched in both 2014 and 2015, but were discontinued. They have been reinstated as of 2016, and are still currently running.
