Dear THINK 5th grade families,
Our Presidential Wax Museum will be presented by Ms. Grossbier’s 5th graders on Tuesday, March 11th from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at THINK Academy. Please arrive 10 minutes early so that students are ready to present by 5:30 p.m. It is important that all students are present for the wax museum, so if you are not able to attend, please try to make arrangements so that your child has a ride to the event.
Students are responsible for planning their own costumes (and props, if desired) for the event. For presidents, a white or blue dress shirt, tie, dress pants,and a suit coat (if desired) would be appropriate (students can raid dad’s/grandpa’scloset, if necessary); for first ladies, a dress appropriate for the era would be suitable (for example, a long skirt and blouse/long dress for Martha Washington; a knee-length dress/skirt for Jackie Kennedy). Makeup can be used for mustaches or beards. Please do not purchase a period costume for the occasion; rather, be creative and improvise with items already on hand or shop Goodwill or other thrift stores, if necessary.
Students have been working really hard preparing their Presidential Wax Museum projects. We hope to see you there!
The wax museum is open to the community, so please invite your family and friends for this fun event. We will be asking for a $1 donation to help fund our class trip to Upham Woods in May.
Thank you for all of your help! We look forward to seeing you.
Ms. Grossbier and the 5th grade class
