Dear Epic Families,

📚✨ You’re Invited to Epic's Living Wax Museum in Durant! ✨📚

Living Wax Museum Details:
The Living Wax Museum is an exciting project where students bring history to life! Each student will:

Choose a historical figure to research.
Read and gather details about their figure’s life and achievements.
Create a display showcasing important information about their chosen person.
Dress up as their historical figure for the event.
Prepare a short speech to share with attendees about their person.

Join us to celebrate history and literacy as our students transform into living representations of historical icons. We can’t wait to see you there!

Students are also welcome to join as viewers rather than participants—everyone is invited!
