Mrs. Bridges' Western Civilization I class recently completed their study of Ancient Greece. To commemorate the end of another chapter and celebrate one of the most notable contributions of ancient Greece, the Olympics, the class participated in a few "Olympic" events. Before the games began, the students were divided into groups and were tasked to create a flag to represent their chosen city-state. The victor of each "Olympic" event received a golden olive branch wreath to add to their city-state flag.
