The third grade tradition at our elementary school is the "Living History Museum". Each 3rd grader chooses someone who changed history and studies them. They have to write a report, and then pretend to be that person in wax museum form.
Ava choose to be Alex Scott, because she was a hero her age. Not very famous, but definitely someone to admire. Alex Scott was diagnosed with neuroblastoma two days before her first birthday. When she was four, she held a lemonade stand (with her big brothers help) to raise money for cancer research. That stand raised over $2000. The stands became an annual tradition. Sadly, Alex died at 8, but to date the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation have raised over $60 million for pediatric cancer research. Pretty amazing for someone who was only her for 8 years.
