Hi readers,
My class is doing their second annual Wax Museum Project. They research a famous role model and then represent them by dressing up and standing as still as statues (as if they are the statues in a Wax Museum). This project always takes a lot of props, and my goal is to not ask any parent to buy a single thing. Please take a moment to look at the table below and see if you can contribute anything. I promise that if you label it, you’ll get it back. Even something as simple as a poster or flyer related to the person or time period will help.
Thanks so much for your generosity!
