One of the great projects of the 3rd grade is the Living History Museum. Each student studies a person, writes a biography, memorizes it, dresses up as that person and when touched they share their ‘story’.

The dress that she wore has significant meaning. This dress was worn my ‘Mom’, Jay Hill some  15 years ago when she and ‘Pop’ were the Marietta Frontier Days King and Queen.
