Today Matthew's class hosted a wax museum. It was the culmination of a two-month-long biography project each of the kids did on a famous Arizonan. They dressed up as their subjects, stood before their homemade backdrops, and presented their memorized two-minute speech.

I know their teacher was very stressed out about today, but like most things we stress over it all came together right when it needed to. The kids were adorable and, like Joe Garagiola, they knocked it out of the park.

Here are some photos from the big day:

Great job, Matt. I love Joe G. There were some very original others. Matt you did great and I wish I could hear your talk.
