"Each year, Colts Youth Football brings these interactive camps to elementary schools across the state. The camps are free to the school and offer a fun, safe, exciting opportunity for students in 2nd-5th grade. Since the inception of the camps in 2004, over 175 schools have participated, actively engaging more than 150,000 youth."
Famous Hoosier Project
- 5 paragraph research paper
- Visual Presentation
- Oral Presentation
All of this hard work culminates in our Famous Hoosier Wax Museum. Students may need your help to practice the oral presentation and to "dress for success" for that day. Each student should do her/his best to dress like the famous Hoosier researched. There are lots of homemade props which could help bring a person to life! Costumes can be created with items found around your home and do not need to be fancy or expensive.
You're Invited!
