The "Greek Olympics" will teach the students many important lessons such as: teamwork, cooperation, responsibility, motivation, fairness, loyalty, reliability, focus, and determination. Each student will represent a certain City-State or Polis of Ancient Greece. They will have to work together to achieve victory. The winners will receive an A+ test grade so the incentive is real!
