Wausau's Beautification Week

This month we decided to put a well-deserved spotlight on a few kinds of maps, to learn how to read and interpret them, and to see a few stories they can tell us.

The Third Graders at Marathon Area Elementary have spent the last twelve weeks studying a notable individual from the past and then recorded a short video to show what they learned about them. And these videos were compiled to create a virtual "wax museum."
