It's a season of lights and that's exactly what you'd find in Mrs. Kira VanWinkle's the last week or so. Her 8th Grade students were challenged to create and light 3 buildings using a different type of circuit for each building. What a fun demonstration of learning before winter break!
Happy Holidays from the Mustang family to yours! We wish you a joyful winter break with a chance to rest and relax. Can you guess who is who from our district leadership team!?
