At the event, families and community members were invited to see and hear student presentations that highlighted the accomplishments of their chosen person. Students dressed as their person and really did a great job getting into character. Some of the younger classes even created digital presentations to share.

It was amazing to see the students come out of their shells and lead with the knowledge they gained from their research.
