Correction, now there are 2 fish instead of three.  :(

Agia Triada Festival

The festival was a blast last night.  We met up with tons of family and friends.  Father George Stavropoulos was of course walking around and greeting everyone.  I love that man.  My pethera God bless her was making the Loukoumades all night!  The souvlakia were excellent and a bottle of wine was $15.  Pretty good.  My cousins were making the souvlakia and old friends of Kostas' from high school were selling the beverages.  The boys won stuffed animals and 3 fish.  Ye, s you read it correctly.  They won three fish at the ring toss.  Now,  not only do I have to care for the 4 men in my life , but  I have 3 fish to take care of as well.   Good luck and God bless Agia Triada!

Holy Trinity Festival

This weekend the whole family will be going to Agia Triada in Hicksville, NY festival.  They have the most popular Greek Festival on Long Island.  It is the community the my husband grew up in when he first came here from Greece.  My pethera runs the loukoumades stand.  YUM!  Pictures to follow!  It is on September 7,8 and 9th.

We are trying our Greek Night Fundraiser again this year.  It will be held on Saturday, October 13 from 7pm-11pm at The Artful Dodger in Huntington, NY.  There will be a Greek DJ, open bar and buffet.  It is $65 per person.  Fingers crossed.  We are trying to raise money for a small playground for our students.  Please help support us.

I am very excited that all of my teachers from last year are returning.  they truly did an excellent job last year and I think this one will be a better one.  We have 5 students in Ta Morakia class, 7 students in Ta Kouklakia class, 6 students in Ta Poulakia class, and 8 students in Ta Psarakia class.  Starting off the year with 26 students...........Awesome!

This year I will be teaching a course at The Greek American Preschool.  It is a mommy and me class birth until 2 years of age.  It is 45 minutes one day a week.  Children and mothers will be exposed to  the basics of introducing Greek Language to their children.  Nursery rhymes, colors,  shapes  numbers and body parts.  Celebrations and religious days will also be introduced. I am bursting with ideas!

I have taken on the advisor of Little Angels at my Church.  It is a mommy and me social group for children ages birth to 5 years old.  I thought it was appropriate considering I am running the Greek language preschool ages birth to 5 years of age.  I have a lot of wonderful things planned.  I am very excited for this school year!
