The Dell Rapids fifth graders held their annual Living History Fair on Wednesday, March 9th, in the Dell Rapids Middle School commons area. The students showcased their costumes and reports two different times during the day. The first session was held from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m., and the second session was held from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Students had coin cans at their station. When visitors put coins in the jar, the students “came to life” and read a report about the life of the person they were portraying. The students were able to raise $833.77 during the event. All the money raised was donated to a charity that the students picked. The donation this year went to JDRF, which is a foundation for juvenile diabetes.
This was the fifth year the Dell Rapids fifth graders have done the Living History Fair.
