I want to thank everyone for coming to our Living Wax Museum on Wednesday evening. I think the children did an amazing job representing the historical figures they studied. Thank you to all of the children who worked so hard and the parents who supported them and helped to create such detailed and vivid costumes for the presentations! I also extend my gratitude to the Room Parents for organizing the celebration afterwards, Mrs. Mapa for supplying the cake, all of the parents who donated money for refreshments and supplies, and everyone who helped with setup, serving, and cleanup at the event. It was truly an unforgettable evening, thanks to you!
