Ancient Greece comes to Ellwood at Lincoln High
Ancient Greece themed a two day Greek festival at Lincoln High School Ellwood as seventh graders completed a Thanksgiving started unit. History teacher Connie Kreshon called the project meaningful and worthwhile with students researching mythic figures and Greek culture across multiple subjects. In the gym the Olympic games featured a chariot race discus toss and marathon obstacle course with four teams of seven students each. Physical education teacher Cheryl Lumley noted the activity caused noise but praised student enthusiasm and explained it was hard to keep them under control.
