5/27/16: About 75 students from six Waldorf Schools brought ancient Greece to life at the Field House in Shelburne Friday for the Fifth Grade Pentathlon.

Hosted by the Lake Champlain Waldorf School, this event has been bringing together fifth graders from Vermont, New Hampshire and New York for almost 20 years.
