Minds Under Construction

WAX MUSEUM:

Fifth grade held their annual Wax Museum, and it did not disappoint! Each student researched a famous person from history, dressed as that character, and presented a short oral biography to the PAC community.

The younger grades enjoyed learning about great characters such as Ruby Bridges, Hatshepsut, Beethoven, Clara Barton, and Sacajawea.

HOW PARENTS ARE ROBBING THEIR CHILDREN OF ADULTHOOD:

Nicole Eisenberg’s older son has wanted to be a star of the stage since he was a toddler, she said. He took voice, dance and drama lessons and attended the renowned Stagedoor Manor summer camp for half a dozen years, but she was anxious that might not be enough to get him into the best performing-arts programs.
