In honor of Tax Day, Ms. Richmond's
and Mrs. Wigal's classrooms at Cerbat Elementary
School, took a trip back in time… and let’s just say the
students were not fans of the king 👑😄
At random times throughout the day, a royal tax
collector burst into class announcing, “I am here to
collect taxes for the king!” Students were “taxed” for all
sorts of reasons—wearing sneakers, blinking too much,
even just existing during royal hours. The currency?
M&M’s, of course 🍫
At first, there were laughs… but it didn’t take long
before the protests began. Students created signs,
voiced their frustrations, and questioned the fairness of
it all. Some even tried to negotiate or appeal their
taxes (unsuccessfully!)
Learning through experience makes history come
alive—and today was definitely one they won’t forget!
