As Catholic Schools Week comes to a close, one elementary school is finishing up the celebrations with a “live” wax museum. 
The Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Academy’s student exhibition featured Latin influencers from the past and present. 
The group of fourth grade students highlighted the lives and achievements of some of the most famous Latin people in history. 
This is part of a week-long celebration for Catholic Schools Week in the city. Students dressed in costumes they made themselves to bring to life the embodiment of their Latin role models. 
School officials say the bilingual “live” wax museum helps students boost their Spanish skills as well as their self-confidence.
