FOURTH GRADE WAX MUSEUM
Congratulations, 4th grade students, Miss Diamantis, Mrs. Hernandez,
and Mrs. Glynn for a successful 2016 Wax Museum event!
Students represented various historical figures such as:
Gandhi, Mozart, Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa, Cleopatra, Neil Armstrong,
Betsy Ross, Einstein, etc.…
Students prepared and memorized information about their lives
and major accomplishments.
When a visitor approached the wax figure and pressed the red button,
the person came to life and shared information about his/ her life.
