4th graders in Arizona have the opportunity to study a famous Arizonan. William's first choice was Pat Tillman, but he got Frank Luke, Jr., The Arizona Balloon Buster. Luke AFB is named after him. This project was not an easy one because the books about Luke are no longer in circulation, and he only lived 21 years. The kids (and moms) learned a lot from this project, but we were all thankful when it was over.
The final part of the project is a wax figure museum with a five minute speech as your character. William was amazing and stood at attention through all the speeches. We are so proud of him.
Since it was a rather large and time consuming project, we were thrilled when William was awarded the Principal Award for his Famous Arizonan project! Luckily, we've got a year off before Abby will be in 4th grade.
