Enrichment Experience Food Science (Grade 6-8)
- courses
Let’s explore the fascinating tales of gods and goddesses like Zeus, Hera, Jupiter, and Venus. You’ll meet legendary heroes such as Hercules and Achilles, and encounter fearsome monsters like Medusa and the Minotaur. We’ll also uncover how these ancient stories have influenced art, literature, and pop culture, from famous paintings and sculptures to modern movies and books. Join us for Mythology and embark on an adventure through timeless tales that continue to shape our world today!
Please note: As we explore the rich and fascinating world of mythology, it is important to note that many myths contain elements of violence and nudity. These stories, originating from various cultures and historical periods, often depict the values, beliefs, and societal norms of their time. While our goal is to provide an educational and engaging experience, some content may be graphic or mature. We encourage students to approach these stories with a mature mindset.
This enrichment experience will meet weekly on Thursdays at 3:00pm. The session will run for six weeks starting the week of October 7th.
