8TH GRADE HONORS CLASS BECOMES LIVING WAX MUSEUM

The 8th Grade Honors class became a Living Wax Museum on Tuesday, May 23, when they represented persons from history, music, aviation, literature, business, exploration and other fields. Dressed as their chosen figure, the students came to life and performed for other staff and students  for 90 seconds, sharing biographical information about their subject. Classes in Pre-K 3 through 8th Grade toured the Living Wax Museum led by a tour guide, who took them from station to station. The 8th Grade Honors students chose a wide array of individuals to represent, including Duke Ellington, Douglas MacArthur, Thomas Edison, Ida B. Wells, Bela Lugosi, Charles Lindbergh, Sonia Sotomayor, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Amelia Earhart, Louis Armstrong, and others.
