Students at Maria Regina High School created a "living" wax museum in honor of Women's History Month.
Students were asked to identify an accomplished woman in history, research her life and then create an exhibit that highlights her accomplishments.
The girls dressed the part of their heroine and were able to teach other students about the particular woman they chose. 
"We're trying to bring awareness to women's history week," says Deanna Checlezy, a student at Maria Regina. "Girls here are getting very involved with showing their cultures, diversity and have fun while doing it too."
Some of the historical figures who were profiled included Jane Goodall, Marie Curie and Venus and Serena Williams.
