Living History at the Wax Museum
 
Our 5th Grade Wax Museum from last Friday was a memorable showcase of history brought to life! After weeks of research, each student portrayed a famous figure of historical significance, ranging from popes and inventors to athletes and artists. Dressed in costume, the students shared engaging presentations about their chosen individuals’ lives and accomplishments. It was wonderful to see their hard work and creativity come to life! More photos from the event can be found HERE.
