Studying Greek culture at LPMS

Sixth-grade students and teachers at Liberty Park Middle School recently participated in the school’s annual Greek Day festivities. 

To prepare for the day, students created movies based on research about their favorite Greek god, goddess, monster or hero. 

In math classes, students learned about surface area and then created Greek temples using cardboard, paper towel rolls and paint. 

On the day of the event, sixth grade teachers and students dressed as Greek characters, and students presented their creations to their parents. 

Students also learned more about Greek culture by participating in different activities including sampling traditional Greek food and learning about Greek architecture and present day Greece.
