Dream State, the latest novel by author Eric Puchner '82, is all the buzz in the literary world! This heartfelt story takes readers on a journey to explore the moments when we make decisions that set the course of our lives, and the feelings or "what ifs" that may come as a result. The story is so captivating that Oprah Winfrey selected Dream State as her February book club pick! Eric sat down with Oprah and CBS Mornings host Gayle King to discuss his latest novel. Watch the interview here. Read More

Plus, enjoy these fun incentives:
🎁 First-time donors receive a Calvert sticker to show off your Mighty Bee pride!
🎁 Set it and forget it! If you set up a monthly gift for the next five years (until your next reunion), we’ll send you a Calvert hoodie to keep you cozy and stylish while repping your alma mater.
🎁 The reunion class with the highest participation wins Calvert playing cards for every donor.
🎁 The non-reunion class with the highest participation wins Calvert drink koozies for every donor.

CAVETE APES! Beware the Mighty Bees!
On Saturday, February 1, Calvert Latin students tested their classical knowledge and linguistic mettle at the Gilman Certamen, where they came out on top with two phenomenal first-place trophies.
Eighth Graders Quinn D. ’25, Andrew D. ’25, Alexander B. ’25, and Alex M. ’25 claimed the top spot at the Intermediate level, which covers material through Latin II. Meanwhile, fellow Eighth Graders Lily M. ’25, Katherine Y. ’25, Ben F. ’25, and Alyssa W. ’25 rose above their fellow competitors to earn first place at the Novice level.
In recognition of their prowess, our two winning teams each received a trophy to commemorate their win. Great job to our student scholars! Continue Reading
