All hands were on deck for this combined 2nd grade candle-making effort with all three classes.

2nd graders learned all about how important candles were in the 1800s and how children helped their families manage their households.

Every student pitched in to roll beeswax candles – we’ll be all set to sell these works of art at our 150th Carnival in May!

Thank you to every parent who lent a hand to help give these students a trip back in time.
