Fourth-grade students from Warren’s Jefferson PK-8 School provided a closer look at dozens of African American individuals who have made significant contributions and impacted our lives in the past or present.
On Tuesday, February 18, 2025, the school set up a Living Wax Museum at the WCS’ Student Recreation and Wellness Center where the students, many dressed as the individuals they portrayed, gave visitors lessons in history and current events. For the event, held in observance of Black History Month, each student researched an individual to portray.
“It’s wonderful,” said Arlene Parker, who spent time going from student to student, learning about each person. “I’ve learned a lot, and these students have done a wonderful job.”
Along with parents and other community members, students from Warren G. Harding High School as well as WCS administrators and staff walked along the path of history where they students made their presentations.
