Greek Feast

we will be having a Greek party celebrating the end of our term, the end of this unit, and Halloween.

If you can please remind your child bring a sheet, any color will do, so they can dress up in a toga.

Also, if your child is allergic to anything please let me know!

Some of the students offered to bring treats to make the party more exciting~ so thank you to all the parents that can do that.

They are also responsible for a three minute speech on their topic at the feast. Please work on this with your student at home to make sure they know what they are going to say.
