🚨Attention, mortals!🚨
The time has come. Our brave band of students, families, and faculty are officially departing for Greece—land of gyros, gods, and great adventures!✈️
They've studied the myths, packed the sunscreen (we hope), and now they’re off to walk the same ground as Athena, Poseidon, and maybe even that guy who thought a wooden horse was a good idea. 🐴
Stay tuned as they channel their inner gods and goddesses:
Athena’s wisdom (for museum tours),
Hermes’ speed (through airport security),
Apollo’s brilliance (for sunny photos and flawless historical facts),
and Zeus’ power (for patience when students ask “Are we there yet?” every 10 minutes).
May the WiFi be strong, the feta be fresh, and the sandals be comfy. Let the odyssey begin! 🏛️🌊⚡️ #GreekSquad2025 #TheTrojanWay

Classes will go from 9:30--11:30 (check in will be from 9:30--9:45 so, if your aspiring actor is in Summer Running, they can still participate in this), and will be open for students going into 3rd--8th grade.

This class will be taught by Rusty K. Koll, an Elmwood High School faculty member with decades of theatre experience with students of all ages, with assistance from high school drama club students. Classes will take place in the Elmwood High School Auditorium, and will cost $10/day or $90 for the full two weeks.
