Fourth grade had their Wax Museum this week and as you can see it was Evie's turn to participate. Students were only allowed to pick their projects from a list of Michigan celebrities. Evie was Margaret Whiting, a 1940's-50's singer, who was the first singer to sign with Johnny Mercer's Capital Records.Funny enough, she wrote and performed the song Baby it's Cold Outside. Hence the snow couple that Evie used as a prop. They are signing the song that took Margaret to the number 3 spot on the pop charts in 1949.
Unfortunately, because they restrict the subjects to only Michigan born performers there were two other Margaret Whitings that night. One in the cafeteria with Evie and one in the LGI Room. I, of course had to listen to all three to see how they all performed. Fabulously, none of them repeated the same info except that she was a singer in the 40's-50's. Each Margaret had a different approach to give you an idea of who Margaret was.
This performance was reschedule to this week after we had the big snowstorm last week that cancelled school on the day of the original performance. This meant that less people saw their kids perform, but even with the ones that did show up the rooms were full of people.
