Pike first graders played historic roles during A Night At The Museum on Thursday, Jan. 21. The event was sponsored by the PTO and brought hundreds of people to see their young wax characters come to life.

First grade students lined the hall of the "museum" with lights dimmed as night guards with flashlights let in visitors. When buttons placed in front of the students were pressed, they sprang to life and told about the famous character they were dressed up as. The halls were lined with historic characters, famous sports stars, musicians, actors and more.

"The money will help with technology costs for the school. They don't really have the money because of budget constraints in the school system," said PTO president Kellie Wheeless. "Nix is hoping to get webcams for the technology room. They have 25 computers in the computer lab and she teaches all kinds of cool lessons in there. Even pre-schoolers know how to use the computers."

This was one of the most wonderful programs Pike Primary has ever had. It was very crowded, but worth every minute! The children were precious, and they were so proud of themselves. Thank you PCPS (again) for such an awesome experience!

Wow, I don't see how they had the time to do this, what with the time limits teachers have to teach because of NCLB restrictions.

The program was so cute! There was not a charge to see the museum. They were selling slideshows of the 1st grade students in school preparing for the program. My child was so excited to see all of the pictures. We had to watch it over and over. It will be fun to pull it out later and watch as he grows. Thank you to the teachers for creating such a sweet memory!

The students were marvelous, as well as the parent support! This program could not have happened without them!
