Local students pay tribute to famous people from Indiana

Fourth-grade students at grade students at Rosa Parks-Edison Elementary School recentlty concluded a year-long study of the great state of Indiana with a creative twist.

During the year, students took field trips to the Indiana State Museum, the first state capital, and the Wyandotte Caves. Then, each student concluded a year of taking a closer look at the Hoosier state by selecting a famous Hoosier, researching that person, writing a biography speech, creating a costume, making a poster, and decorating a ticket box.

Students presented famous Hoosiers to friends, family, and the community at an evening event entitled, "Hoosier Hysteria."

Fourth-grade students took the stage and sang "On the Banks of the Wabash." Following the musical presentation of famous Hoosier songs,students went to an assigned area of the school where they became "frozen statues in a wax museum."

When a ticket was deposited in the student's ticket box, that famous Hoosier would come to life and present his or her biography.

Friends, family and teachers were treated to a very informative and entertaining evening.
