NISSWA — Nisswa Elementary School third graders hosted their annual wax museum for fellow students, family and staff Thursday, Feb. 23, in the school library.

Students researched a hero or inspiring person, then dressed the part and shared a report about that person after someone stepped on a "button" on the floor in front of them.
