On Monday, June 1, 2020, students in Mrs. Klein's Social Studies classes participated in the 12th Annual Zeus Retires Debates. While the event has traditionally taken place in person, the current climate forced the debate to take place through the use of a Google Meet. Students selected a Greek god or goddess and using their research and learned knowledge they advocated why they should be Zeus' heir apparent as ruler of Mount Olympus upon his retirement. Zeus was played by Mrs. Klein's father, Mr. Morselli. Each student dressed as their god or goddess, delivered their persuasive speech, and also had the opportunity to pose questions to one another. The students were judged on their costume, their persuasive speech, and their answer to questions posed by their opponents. The winning students will be awarded the coveted golden lightning bolt, which will be delivered by Zeus and Mrs. Klein! Special thanks to Mrs. Klein and Mr. Morselli for continuing this creative project for students to share their learned knowledge.
