Presidents Day at Freeman Elementary
On Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012, second-graders at Freeman Elementary celebrated Presidents Day by putting on a presidential "wax museum" for their classmates. Each student studied one of the U.S. presidents, then dressed the part and took a seat in the multi-purpose room. When a visitor touched a sticker on each actor's hand, the child would stand up and give a talk about their chosen president.
