Students dressed up as historic figures like Evis, Princess Diana and Einstein and helped educate their schoolmates by "coming to life" and sharing information about their lives
Who doesn't love transforming into someone else? Now add a little history and you've got yourself a perfect lesson for fifth-grade students at Orchard Hill Intermediate School. The students recently dressed up as well-known figures in history — like Elvis, Einstein and Princess Diana — to make a living wax museum. Students chose a biography to read. And, after reading and taking notes, the students wrote a first-person account of the person's life. On Nov. 16 and 19 the students posed as wax figures around the classroom. Family members and other classes visiting the museum pressed the "button" to make students "come to life" and present their first-person narrative.

Students at Orchard Hill Intermediate School — 395 to be exact — took part in the World Sport Stacking Association's 2012 Stack Up! event Thursday
The students at Orchard Hill Intermediate School are going down in the record books. 395 North Canton students took part Thursday in the World Sport Stacking Association's 2012 Stack Up! event. They joined other students from around the world to beat last year's record for the most people stacking cups throughout the span of one whole day. Last year, 412,259 people took part. A total of 450,000 people were expected to participate Thursday. If they topped last year's number, that means they've broken the Guiness World Record. Physical education teacher Jan Bremer led every single class, from morning through the end of the school day, in several stacking events. Cup stacking, she said, is not only a fun activity for the students, but it also…
