Mrs. Lewis’s 2nd graders proudly brought history to life with their Wax Museum project today!

Families were invited to “press the button” in front of each student, triggering them to come alive and share fascinating facts about the famous person they portrayed. From start to finish, students did an incredible job staying in character and showcasing all they learned.

We are so proud of their hard work, creativity, and confidence—what an unforgettable experience for everyone involved!
