Chios Fast Facts

Chios page at Wikipedia The population of Chios is about 52,290 people (as of 2001) with 350 sq miles as an area. Its main agricultural products are mastic, olives, grapes, wine, olive oil, and figs. A mastic plant produces a hard resin-substance which is used for baking. It is also used in Turkish Delight.

[Mom] Here's a site I found by googling Chios images. It gives the history of ancient Chios and the Greek myth that tells how Chios got it's name.

Service Project - Bake Sale

WE HAVE TO DO IT ON A DIFFERENT DATE BECAUSE WE NEED THE PICTURES OF THE BAKE SALE UP ON OUR CHIOS BULLITEN BOARD BY THAT FRIDAY AT SCHOOL. [Monica James:]

• Bakesale on Friday April 20th at 4:00pm --at the James House-- 2800 Wyngate (off of West Wesley)-404-352-4485
• Everyone should bring 3 dozen of whatever it is they are baking. (I think the kids have pre-determined who's baking cookies, brownies, etc.?)
• Please pre-wrap things such that there are 3 or so per bag--OR--a dozen of something prewrapped in plastic. (This is what we've done before, and people seem to like the things wrapped--not loose where a lot of fingers touch things)
• Drew and I will make flyers to put in mailboxes of the 50 homes in our subdivision this week.
• Is it okay if we donate proceeds to UNICEF? Seems appropriate as it is a global organization helping children--thus our children helping the world's children--we could even designate on the check--UNICEF-Greece. This has been our family charity for years, and we have had several bakesales for their benefit. I would put that on the flyer if we are all in agreement....
• Pick up at 6:00. (two hours should be plenty).

Chariot Design

[Brandon's Mom 4/2] The work on the chariot yesterday went very well. Thank you everyone! The next meeting will be on Monday April 9th at 1:30pm. Bring your swim suits for hot tub after. The group will paint the chariot, let it dry, and then apply any stickers you want. suggestions - "flames" on the side and the word, "CHIOS" letter stickers on the back. Brandon's parents will get all the paint. Everyone looks for appropriate stickers.

The word 'Chariot' comes from the Latin word 'Carrus'.

(Emily's Mom) see my comments above...Sorry we missed Sunday Emily had a horse show all day. You guys are doing such a great job!

BRANDON - enter results of chariot building. Post pictures.

T-Shirt Design

Assignment: create a T-shirt for your city-state

//Mariam: We'll have starfit blue t-shirts from walmart or target. then, on the front, we'll add iron on letters that spell out chios (obviously) and we'll put our own handprints on it. on the back, we'll have a special number that we chose ourselves, and our greek nick name (for example my nick name is Athena!)

[Brandon's mom 4/12] I bought royal blue t-shirts for everyone. What color letters do you all want for "CHIOS"? What color for your nicknames? What color paint do you want for the handprint?

Gold letters will be very hard to find and won't show up very well against the royal blue. I would recommend WHITE. Emily:We are bringing some iron on tranfers paper that we can print from the computor if we want to use these.....

Writers

[Brandon] I think I have found the writers of the medea, oedipus rex, and agamemnon, but these days with the internet, you just can trust anybody you don't know.

Agamemnon: Aeschylus

Oedipus Rex: Sophocles

Medea: Euripides

1156 Ivy Hill Ct. Mableton GA 30126

Grant- my mom said we could do the t-shirts at my house

.Hey Emily, could you not right in the middle of the 'writers' paragraph? You cut it right off!
