Across the district, students and educators are celebrating Black History Month. We're excited to share this story about the BHM "wax museum" that students proudly put on this morning at Pine Valley Elementary School.

Third grader Camille fully embodied Rosa Parks at the Black History Month wax museum at Pine Valley Elementary Friday.
She wore a little vintage plaid shirt with a round collar, a little blazer, a little black hat, transforming into a live-action miniature version of the Civil Rights icon in her infamous mug shot.
Her hands clasped in determination, her face stoic, Camille stood still — like a wax sculpture — until someone came to hear her story.
Then she began: “Each person must live their life as a model for others…”
For 11 years teacher Tim Mills has led the event with his third grade team. It’s a comprehensive academic exercise, he said — students pick their Black history hero and then read and research about them, write a speech, draw and create a display board, practice public speaking.
