We are thrilled with the amount of interest you have shown
in our Greek Language and Culture School. We are very excited
to be able to offer the opportunity to teach about our Greek
Culture and Heritage to our children.
The year ahead will be filled with many opportunities for
our children to learn and experience the Greek language
and culture. We hope to do this in a fun and captivating
atmosphere where our children want to come and learn. It
is our belief that parents, teachers and the Community should
work together as partners in the education of our children.
We want our children to learn and to love the language and
culture that is their heritage.
The cost is that parents pay a nominal fee of $150 per child
attending the school-approximately $5 per class. ( 2 children
or more $300 max.) These funds will help cover some of the
costs to run an effective Language program. As parents of
children in the public school system we are all expected
to pay for school supplies for our children as well as other
activities and field trips thoughout the school year.
Dance has always played an important role in the life
of a Greek. It is an expression of human feelings and everyday
life. The Greeks danced at religious festivals, ceremonies;
they danced at weddings; they danced to overcome depression
and to cure physical illness. Almost every dance has a story
to tell. Dance was regarded as one of the highest forms
of art. Plato agreed with his mentor Socrates that every
educated man should know how to dance gracefully by which
he meant the manly exercises that kept the body strong and
supple.
The dance, of all the arts, is the one that most influences
the soul. Dancing is divine in its nature and is the gift
of the gods. Plato
