BRINGING HISTORY TO LIFE THROUGH A WAX MUSEUM – This shoutout celebrates a fun, interactive take on history – a Wax Museum event at West Riverside Elementary School! Dr. April Slade, Director of K-12 Social Studies, shares her reflections: “Students amazed us all by transforming into historical figures, politicians, music artists, and athletes, each one standing proudly to share the story of their chosen icon. It was truly inspiring to see our young scholars embody greatness from the past and present.”
