Madame Morrow’s Museum of Historical Wax Figures was held for the third annual year on Tuesday, March 1^st at O’Neill Elementary. People who “made a difference” in the world were researched and recreated by the fifth grade students.  Students read a biography on a historical figure of their choice, wrote a 1^st-person narrative speech, created a display board and costume and transformed themselves into their person.  Students in grades K-4 and 6 as well as people from the community visited the museum and dropped change into the can of the frozen figure they wanted to see “come alive.”  Each year the students vote on where they would like to donate the proceeds from their Wax Museum, and this year they raised $480.00 for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.  This cause is most special to the class as two of its members deal with Diabetes themselves.  Thank you to everyone who supported this year’s Wax Museum, either with donations or especially their attendance.

This year's Wax Museum proved to be our most educational and successful one yet!  The class voted to donate their proceeds to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and $481.00 was raised for the cause!
