The Sixth Grade Greek Festival

The Sixth Grade Greek Festival was held last Thursday after weeks of rehearsal and preparation.
The Festival, a remarkable and memorable event, is traditionally reflected upon by Middle School students as the highlight of sixth grade. The students rehearsed their dramatic presentations, practiced their dance and musical performances, and worked diligently on their artistic displays, including exhibits of beautifully designed and executed Greek Temples and Greek Tiles.

The Greek Festival serves as a prime example of Helen Parkhurst's vision of interdisciplinary curriculum. She believed that the best learning takes place when students engage actively in a given subject that is studied across many of the academic disciplines.
