Today was opening day at the museum for students.  Students visited with their classroom teachers throughout the day and were very engaged.  Students made sports trading cards and started a museum display of student created cards, other students read and carefully looked at museum collections.  Some students chose the computers and viewed pictures of famous African Americans, while tapping their feet to the music. 
A parent brought in a poster of his brother, a pilot, to share in the museum and was impressed with his brief visit to the museum.  A Kindergartner brought in his signed Lou Brock baseball and some of his Dad's favorite trading cards.  As two fourth grade students were boarding the bus they said, with faces beaming, "We visited the Museum today, it was awesome!!"
