2025 Living Wax Museum

In a heartwarming and educational tribute to Black History Month, our outstanding 1st-grade students participated in a Living Wax Museum. This inspiring event was the culmination of weeks of research, creativity, and dedication as these young scholars explored the lives and legacies of famous African American figures. Each student selected a renowned Black athlete, musician, author, inventor, actor, or activist/civil rights leader to study. With enthusiasm, they delved into their person’s history, contributions, and impact on society. During the Living Wax Museum, the 1st graders transformed into their historical figures, bringing history to life with impressive displays, well-rehearsed speeches, and detailed costumes. Parents, teachers, and fellow students had the opportunity to walk through the museum, engaging with each young scholar as they shared fascinating facts and stories about the person they represented. The event was not only a celebration of Black excellence but also a powerful learning experience. It encouraged the students to develop research skills, build confidence in public speaking, and foster a deeper appreciation for the contributions of African Americans throughout history. Hats off to our amazing 1st-grade scholars for their hard work and dedication! Special thanks to their parents and teachers for their support in making this event a success. The Living Wax Museum was a testament to the bright future of our young learners and the importance of honoring those who have paved the way for progress and change.
