Students in Mrs. Krista LaDue’s and Mr. Aaron Koproski’s fifth grade classes selected their historical characters, did extensive research about their person and then portrayed that individual during visiting hours at Living Museum.

Fellow students, parents and family members were invited to visit the museum and speak with the characters about their life and how they impacted the world.

Where else could you find John Lennon, Elvis Presley, John and Jackie Kennedy, FDR, Albert Einstein, Oprah and more all in the same room?
