Tesago Elementary Third Graders were entertained by Ellen Mnich, while learning about the culture of many countries.  Ellen Mnich, a speaker well known for her traveling museum program, “Aunt Helen’s Closet” began the program fifteen years ago when she took her aunt’s sixty years of globetrotting tales and numerous souvenirs and turned them into a traveling trunk showcase. 

     Aunt Helen becomes more real when students model clothes, hats and jewelry  from many countries.  Students tried on sombreros, kimonos and various jewelry from every country except two.  After the presentation, Ms. Mnich, instructed the students to write an adjective filled story describing a piece of her jewelry.  It was a fun, exciting time that allowed both students and adults to share Aunt Helen’s travels.
