WAX MUSEUM

On October 30, we held a Wax Museum! Each student came dressed as an historical person in US history.

20th century "Freedom Fighters." Anahi as Rosa Parks and Zach as Martin Luther King, Jr.


Heather as Abigail Adams...wife of 2nd US president, John Adams, and mother of 6th US president, John Quincy Adams! Heather is with her older brother, Tyler, who was also a student of Miss Mitchell's.


John & Abigail Adams's home in Massachusetts was known as the "Big House" in the community.


Birthplace of John Quincy Adams, 6th US president, which is next to...


...the birthpace of his father, John Adams, 2nd US president. Both were born in Braintree (now Quincy), Massachusetts. (No, Miss Mitchell wasn't there when they were born!)


Two of the greatest men to ever live on the earth (Miss Mitchell's opinion)! Benjamin Franklin (Rainey) and George Washington (Thomas)


Imagine what our country would have been like if we had had FIVE Abraham Lincolns!!!
Andrew...Logan...Mr. Goff...Hayden...Matt
