Rehoboth, MA — Palmer River Elementary School was buzzing with excitement, creativity, and pride this week as third grade students dazzled families, staff, and community members during the annual Wax Museum event.
In a celebration of historical achievement and student learning, each third grader brought a notable Massachusetts historical figure to life through impressive costumes, well-researched presentations, and confident performances. Students stood poised in character, ready to share facts, stories, and insights with every visitor who stopped by their "museum exhibit."
“This was an incredible showcase of learning, curiosity, and hard work,” said third grade teacher, Mrs. Karen Salois. “We are so proud of each and every student for the dedication they showed in preparing for this special day.”
The Wax Museum is more than just a performance—it’s an opportunity to help ignite a love of learning, empower students to use their voices, and shape confident, capable young leaders. Students embraced the challenge of researching biographical details, memorizing key facts, and stepping into the shoes of historical figures ranging from presidents and inventors to artists and activists.
A special thanks goes out to the third-grade teaching team and support staff who guided students through weeks of preparation. “Our amazing staff put tremendous time, energy, and care into this project,” said Principal Kristine Kefor. “Their commitment to excellence made this experience both meaningful and memorable for our learners.”
Palmer River Elementary School extends its gratitude to families and community members who came out to support the event and celebrate the incredible work of these young historians.
