Port Chester Middle School Students Present Living Museum

On Tuesday, June 4th, 8th Grade Social Studies students from Port Chester Middle School hosted a "Living Museum Walk" in the gymnasium at Port Chester Middle School. Approximately 140 students were involved in the Living Museum Walk. Each student “became” a different historical figure and presented information about their life and contributions to our world. The students selected their personage from a list provided by their teachers and conducted in-depth research about them over the past few months. The historical figures range from the European explorers (late 1400's) to present day. The 6th and 7th grade classes and the other 8th grade students visited the Living Museum to learn about and ask questions of each historical figure presented. The students are part of the school’s Life Saver Academy, one of two 8th grade academies at the school. Each grade is divided in half and each half is called an academy that is named after a Port Chester landmark. Teachers are assigned to specific academies, so students in that academy all have the same group of teachers.
