Carter's Wax Museum

The entire 2nd grade at Carter's school did a project called The Wax Museum. They each studied biographies and chose a famous person that they wanted to portray. Carter chose David Thompson, who is known as one of the best basketball players in the ACC and of course, he used to play for the Wolfpack! Then, he went on to play in the NBA for the Denver Nuggets. He was famous for his super high jumps and dunks and he invented what is now known as the "Alley Oop!" I had ordered his biography and the DVD about his story, but they didn't come in time for Carter's project. But, even better...David Thompson himself sent Carter 2 signed photos, thanks to Grandmommy! David Thompson is now the founder of a program in Charlotte called XSalt (pronounced like exhalt), which is a Christian program to help at-risk kids learn to play basketball and to stay out of trouble. Grandmommy called and asked for his help! David Thompson actually called our house to speak to Carter!

Anyway, Carter had the awesome poster that we made together, his wolfpack basketball, a little basketball goal, and the autographed prints to use as props!

This was the cutest thing to see! All of the kids were so cute and put so much hard work into it!

The video below is of Carter's little speech, but I apologize because the sound isn't great since it was noisy in there and it's sideways! I'm trying to figure out how to rotate it!
