2017 Pentathlon
On April 22, 2017 our fifth grade class (Class of 2024) participated in The Pentathlon here at AWS. Joining us this year were the Waldorf School of New Orleans and the Great Oak School, making our total number of students 53! Supporting the 5th grade curriculum, The Pentathlon offers an opportunity to bring the Greek ideals of the human form to life through the five disciplines of Javelin, Discus, Ring Wrestling, Running, and Jumping.
Each participating school mixed their students in to Greek city-states: Sparta, Corinth, Athens, Delphi, Olympia, and Thebes. Within their city-states they were asked to beat their personal best! The students started with a combined score of 1,107 and ended the event with a score of 1,672.
Thank you to all the parents and community members who helped make this event a success!
