St. Cecilia Elementary School fifth-graders recently participated in a living wax museum day.

Nearly 80 noteworthy figures appeared in the school auditorium. Students stood attentively and silently until a “ press me” button was stepped on and brought them to life. They perfected not only attire and props but mannerisms and dialect.
