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