She taught students about financial literacy—including the importance of saving, spending wisely, and setting goals for their money. Thank you, Ms. Herdt, for helping our Mustangs learn smart money habits for the future! 🏦✨

🦃Gobble up the FUN!🦃
Help us fill up doors with colorful turkey feathers— 4 for $1! The more feathers, the closer you get to pumpkin pie-ing your favorite teacher! 🍂🍰 Top 3 doors with the most feathers get PIED 🥧! Teachers, if you want to stay safe from a pie in the face, you’d better stock up and cover your neighbor’s door! Turn in your $$$ to the office each morning, and we’ll hand over those feathers! Let’s see which class will win this feather-filled showdown. Game on, and may the feathers fly! 🦃 #SESTurkeyFeatherChallenge

🍂 Ms. Korie’s class took their learning outdoors today! 🎃 Students explored pumpkins up close — comparing how each one is alike or different, deciding if it’s a pumpkin or a gourd, and discovering how seeds can be saved to plant next year. They discussed colors, growth, the fibrous insides, and all the fun ways pumpkins can be used — from baking pies and breads to decorating for fall! 🍁
