Ellinopoula Online 40% Discount

Dear Annunciation Families,

Due to not having in person classes for our Greek School let me share a great resource with you all!
Ellinopoula.com is a Greek School for kids (and expanding for adults now)!
We used them as a resource in the past and were very pleased with their range of online tools to learn the Greek language and culture.
They have also just started offering online live classes with excellent teachers.
If any families from Annunciation are interested, just use the code "3hierarchs" to get a big discount on the subscription price (40%).
Besides the language classes, they have also developed a new “History of 1821” class which will start on March 27. They have developed special new videos and exercises for this class.
