North Windy Ridge Intermediate School’s sixth-grade class transported themselves to ancient Greece with a lively celebration known as Greek Fest. This event marked the culmination of their Social Studies curriculum, where students immersed themselves in the spirit of the original Greek games.
Draped in flowing togas and adorned with intricate headdresses, students paraded through the school grounds carrying banners representing their city-states. Principal Doris Sellers emphasized, "GreekFest is a culminating event for our 6th grade Social Studies where students participate in simulations of the original Greek Games, tastings of Greece, make Greek pottery, and learn Roman numerals."
The air was filled with tantalizing scents of gyros, spanakopita, and baklava as everyone savored the flavors of Greece during the food tastings sponsored by the school’s PTO. Laughter and excitement echoed through the halls as students engaged in bow and arrow competitions, showcasing their skills with enthusiasm and determination.
This vibrant celebration was meticulously organized by the dedicated 6th grade team, ensuring every detail captured the essence of ancient Greece. North Windy Ridge Intermediate School’s Greek Fest not only educated but also entertained, leaving a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to take part.
