Last week, the Humboldt sixth-grade language arts classes held a “Living Wax Museum” on Greek Mythology at the Wildcat Athletic Complex for family and community members.

As part of the museum, students selected a Greek god, goddess, or mythical creature to research and present to the museum's “patrons” in character.

For the project, students dressed up as their subject, some students bringing props that symbolize aspects of their myth, and shared facts about them with the guests.

The event was organized by 6th Grade Language Arts Teacher Jennifer Ulrich, 6th Grade English and Language Arts teacher Theo Vardaxis and Instructional Coach Andrea Laubenthal.

Ulrich said, “We have them do like a book report or something every quarter to go with the books they’ve read. But at the end of this quarter, we wanted to try something new. I’ve seen wax museums in the past, so I talked to Andrea (Laubenthal), and she was willing to help.”
