Third-grade students, dressed as Zeus, Aphrodite, and other Greek mythological gods and goddesses, began Mt. Olympus day with the lighting of the Olympic torch followed by reader’s theater, pastry making, and their very own mini-Olympics.

“This event was a culmination of what we have been learning in third grade, which is the study of Greek mythology in literature and Ancient Greece in history,” said Dr. Bindu Philip, third-grade teacher.

Integrating various subjects and disciplines are a part of the classical Christian education at The Cambridge School. Immersing themselves into the Greek history and mythology, students took part in reciting the Olympic Oath, making baklava, eating a Greek feast, and participating in a Greek dance and mini-Olympic events, such as javelin throw, mini-marathon, and relay races.
