October 19 to October 25
The week prior to our Fall Break was buzzing with travel plans and a few activities to specifically highlight. First, our City State Competition this week was a trivia night organized by Alex, ISA. Students competed in teams of 5 for their city state answering questions ranging from sports to geography to music and film. Argos was victorious this week! However, the real highlight of the evening was the boys who arrived to the competition in full suits…shirts, ties, blazers and all. Although the trivia suits did not win points for their teams, the City State spirit was alive and well!
Jillian, ISA organized two programs this week that focused on exploring the city and learning more of its history. First, students went to the archaeological museum in Thessaloniki where they saw more of the history of the city and the greater Macedonian region. The following day, Jillian took students around the city for a more in depth/hands on exploration of the sites. The sites included the Palace of Galerius, the Rotonda, Saint George Church, and finally the Marketplace for lunch.
