Medusa, Athena, Heracles. Greek mythology is so interesting. If you also think that, take a look at the Greek Club! 

About the Club 

Mrs. Jones runs the club. Each month, the club picks a book to read based on a different topic (Horror, Love, Friendship, etc), and they discuss the book at the next meetings. The meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month, and at every meeting, they talk about a different Greek myth or holiday.
