We had a wonderful time at our "Dinner with the gods" Greek Festival event last week.
Students had spent the last few months researching and learning about classical Greece.
For this event students had to dress up as a character from mythology. We were visited by so many neat figures including Hercules, Apollo, Zeus, Aphrodite, Hades, Medusa..... and even a centaur showed up. We started out our show with a brief play introducing each character. We had a special performance from a few musically talented students before our Greek festival began.
After the play, our students invited their families and friends to play some games. 8th grade created a QR code scavenger hunt and managed the stage performance.
7th Grade worked on golden apple relay races, and all of the decorations for the event. Weary about your future? A visit to our oracle would tell what path you should be on. Our 7th grade gentleman performed at the Dionysus Piano Bar, and gave a presentation on why the planets and constellations are named after various mythological characters.
Sixth grade created the popular shoot the cyclops in the eye game. 5th grade created a hydra game, Spartan Spear Toss game, and a computer quiz that determined what Greek God or Goddess you are most like. 4th grade manned many booths including pin the snake on Medusa, Pegasus Ball, the Labyrinth, and create your own mythological origami. Our youngest students managed the Underworld (keep the grapes away from tantalus), dress like a Greek station, and the Argus lollipop game. We ended the night with a Greek Feast that included items such as spanakopita, baklava, moussaka, and a few lightning bolt cookies.
A huge thank you for all the students and parents for all your hard work and donations. Special thanks to our student coordinators Casey Winters and Emily Wolfe for all their dedication. Without you all we couldn't have had some a memorable night.
