Parents, staff, and students were able to meet hundreds of  famous people at Maude Saunders Elementary School recently.  Each first grader researched,  created a cardboard cutout, and became an expert on one famous person.  Guests were delighted to get to talk one-on-one with the likes of George Washington, Barack Obama, Usher, Henry Ford, and many more famous personalities.  The teachers, students, and guests all enjoyed spending time with so many well-known faces!

Shown here are Ruby Bridges (Jeana Lee), George Washington Carver (William Anderson), Abraham Lincoln (Michael Mitchem),  Laura Ingalls Wilder (Makatie Richards),  Amelia Earhart (Kaylie Harrison), Martin Luther King (Aiden Willcox) , Mother Theresa (Payton McMillian), and Jane Goodall (Ava Taylor)
