Annual Marston Wax Musuem Returns Next Week

From famous historical figures and international celebrities to professional athletes and talented innovators, Marston School will soon get a special visit from a variety of vibrant, talkative characters.

The elementary school's annual Wax Museum returns to third grade classrooms from 9:15 to 10 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21.

Each year, students help turn the school into diverse hub of interactive history by dressing up like the subject of a biography of their choosing. Parents, relatives and members of the public are then invited to check out the exhibit and bring the statues' stories to life by pressing a button.

Teacher Michele Croteau said this year's wax figure exhibit includes: "Tom Brady, Princess Diana, Walt Disney, Rosa Parks, Betsy Ross, Milton Hershey, Jane Goodall, John F Kennedy, and Ralph Baer," the inventor of video games.

Students were working on a three-page report about their characters earlier this week, and will choose six or seven important facts to share with guests at the Wax Museum.
