It’s Wax Museum Time once again at Chamisa Elementary! Continuing with a longstanding tradition, the Chamisa third and fourth graders will be presenting their annual Wax Museum show Wednesday, May 7.

Now, how does this work? Great question! To start, each third and fourth grader at Chamisa Elementary School did research on a famous person, and then they turned this research into a speech to tell the story of their person.

The students will present in costumes as if they were/are a famous person. Some of the people that the students chose to research include but are not limited to: Thomas Edison, Clara Barton, Phyllis Wheatley, Alexander Hamilton, Edgar Allen Poe and Sacagawea. Be careful, because King George III is ready with your tax bill. La Llorona and Billy the Kid will be there, too, so watch out!

Third graders researched a person of their choice. Fourth graders researched a person of their choice with a tie to either New Mexico or the American Revolution. Some 4th graders chose to research a famous relative they have that is tied to New Mexico.

“Please come join us on Wednesday, May 7! 3rd grade will present first, 1-1:35 p.m., 4th grade will then present 1:45-2:20 p.m. and attendees are welcome to come and go as they please.”
