Wax Museum at Spanish Oaks

Submitted by leslie.loftin on Thu, 05/16/2013 - 19:41
On May 16, 2013, the fourth grade students participated in their annual Wax Museum. Each student researched a famous person that they were representing and prepared a short speech and brochure with interesting facts to share about that person. The halls of the school were set up as a wax museum so the students and parents could attend. They would press the buttons on the desks bringing the figures to life.
