Her breakout session was "Boosting Engagement for Middle School Students in the Personal Finance Classroom."
3rd Grade Kindness Squad had been hard at work the last couple weeks to make VIP day a little extra special at BES. These students made flowers out of coffee filters and pipe cleaners, made signs and a big banner, and turned it all into a flower shop for our VIP's to enjoy and take a flower or two during their visit last Thursday as a remembrance of a great day!
Happy Monday! Here is this week's BES Mustang Morning Show!
