Third graders at Effingham Christian School are studying the history of the first European civilization. The Minoans made pottery and traded it with other countries as a source of income. True to the classical Christian approach at ECS, the class experienced this history first hand with their own pottery designs. ECS is at 226 Goshen Rd. in Rincon.
