IT’S ALL GREEK! You may have heard the phrase “Kudos to you!” around the office but did you ever wonder what it means? It comes from the Greek word "κῦδος" meaning "glory" or "fame." It became a popu- lar slang term in British universities in the 19th century and continues in popularity today. What? You say you knew that? Well, Kudos to you! Want to give back to this wonderful community? Consider becoming a teacher, administrator or donating to the school. We’d love to hear from you!
