More than 120 fifth-graders at Broadmoor Elementary School stand still, hands stretched out displaying "buttons" that make them begin their speeches. 

"My name is Samuel Adams," says Hunter Mitchell, dressed in a three-pointed hat and navy blue blazer.

As a final project for the first semester, each fifth-grade student researched, read about and reported on a historical figure or person they admire. The culmination of the month-long project was dressing up as that person and standing in a "wax museum" on display.

It didn't take long for BES students and parents to file through the gymnasium at the school, darting back and forth as they listened to each student's brief speech about their character.

After the speeches were over, the students went back to standing as wax figures, waiting for other visitors to press the button again.
