I was able to purchase a display board for all 127 fifth grade students. The students and their parents were thrilled that they did not have to purchase the boards themselves. \r\n\r\nThe boards were used by the students to display information regarding a career they had spent four weeks researching. The students dressed up like their career and stood in front of their boards during the school's first Living Career Wax Museum. The boards contained information that the fifth graders used as talking points as they explained their careers to the younger students in grades K-4.\r\n\r\nThe Living Career Wax Museum was a huge success. Students, staff, and parents shared many many compliments about the museum. It would not have been the success that it was without the display boards. Because the Living Career Wax Museum was such a hit, we are planning to make it an annual event.","fullyFundedDate":1768346979486,"projectUrl":"project/living-career-wax-museum/10011417/","projectTitle":"Living Career Wax Museum","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pelto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5968847"},{"teacherId":6624361,"projectId":10005839,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in providing pencil holders and chair pockets for our classroom.
