2024 5th Grade Living History Museum

Posted March 7, 2024

At Northwest Christian Schools, all history is living because we serve the living God (Mark 12:27, Hebrews 12:22). Age to age He is the same! How wonderful to celebrate His providence in our nation’s history, as fifth-graders recently did in their annual Living History Museum. Sixty-one students in colonial costumes brought stories to life of real men and women from a variety of perspectives of the American Revolution.

We’ve been hosting a ‘wax museum’ event since the late 1990’s. Mrs. Tusant started it and our own Art teacher Rebecca Lamb took part when she attended NWC in 5^th Grade. The history of the USA is a good story, a bad story, and a hopeful story. Our school cares about history and evaluating it from a Biblical perspective. Kids love this project!
