GFS sent out a big Tigers roar when the Phillie Phanatic worked the crowd at a pep rally honoring Jesse Biddle.   Jesse was drafted by the Phillies in the first round of the MLB draft on June 7.  Read more about his "dream come true!"

 

In a decades-long GFS tradition, 3rd and 4th graders who study ancient Greece all year celebrate Greek Day in June at fields.  A procession of athletes, wearing chitons of their own design and carrying city-state banners, was followed by recitations to gods and goddesses for feats of glory.  The judges (who looked remarkably like PE teachers), also wearing chitons, pledged not to take bribes.  Then, the Olympic-style games began!  At mid-day, athletes and their families enjoyed a traditional Greek feast.
