Our study of ancient Greece ended in a performance night like no other. The food was amazing, thanks to all families who brought tasty Greek dishes. If you enjoyed the Baklava or the Milopita (cheesecake with sesame crust) you had food that the kids made. Good cooks, aren't they? The performances were outstanding with a variety of seriousness and levity just as the ancient Greeks would have done on an evening of theater. We celebrated the athletic accomplishments of the kids as well with our Olympic awards ceremony and learned so much that its hard to pack it all into one night. I think everyone who entered Temple Trillium must have felt that it was a special place and time. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible - Jen Brusewitz, Katy Molenkamp, and Virginia Burgess who helped sew chitons, the ancient Greek clothing. Juli Maus, Hannah Peterson, parents from Billy's and Whitney's and Brian's classes who helped us set up. Countless people that helped clean up and keep things rolling when it got busy. And thanks to each and every one of you that helped make this special for your kids and helped them learn the most they could from this experience. Enjoy some photos and highlights of the evening.
