Part 2 of 2 : The Wheat State League art teachers hosted an online art contest for middle school students in April. The show was judged by retired Abilene Middle School teacher Casey Callis who shared "it was an honor being a part of your show. I enjoyed viewing the wide variety of art. There are a lot of talented kiddos in our schools. Thank you for taking the time to showcase student's creativity and celebrate their success."

Wait... has anyone seen our eighth graders? We walked into the gym today and found a room full of legends instead! From Leonardo da Vinci to Sally Ride, our students completely "disappeared" into their characters for the annual Living Wax Museum.

This project served to flex their knowledge of research and writing from ELA their ELA lessons. Students were challenged to select a historical figure, write a comprehensive biography, and then bring that person to life for a live audience. We are so proud of the incredible work, detailed costumes, and the "stillness" they displayed during the presentations.
