To wrap up their unit on ancient Greece in Mrs. Rayner's class, 7th graders worked on building community through friendly competition in their own Greek Olympics and by participating in activities organized by the Senior Center!
Students enjoyed the competitive, although sometimes silly, events of the day. Many shared the importance of encouragement, energy, and enthusiasm, with some crediting specific individuals for their leadership and ability to hype up the team.
Communication and mutual support were also seen as key, alongside a shared focus on success and confidence-building. and the sense of community created by cheering, helping, and interacting with their classmates and those at the senior center.
