Waxing Poetic

A live wax museum, sponsored by the Fillmore Elementary School PTO, recently featured students in grades 3-5 dressing like their character in doing do a book report on a famous person. Third-grader Connor Scott (above), as author Mark Twain, talks to fifth-grade teacher Jill McCammack.

Third-grader Izabella Glaze, as American prima ballerina Maria Tallchief, speaks to Lindsey Birt. Students gave information on each person and then dressed like their character, standing still until someone came by and pushed a button to have them talk and tell about their character for about 1-2 minutes. School secretary Penny Long acted as museum curator for the event.
