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.
