As an AVID school, Maude Saunders students are already exploring their college and career options. Today, all students participated in a Career Exploration Day, where community members shared many different job opportunities with students. We are very thankful to the many volunteers who took time to share their expertise with our scholars!

As always, the Fall Festival was a blast! Thank you to all the staff, especially Racheal Spence, Beverly Morrison, and Sommer Pickard, and the Walton High School Key and Anchor Club members, who worked hard to make it such a fun night! We love seeing all of our students and families enjoying family time in a fun, safe environment.
Who's afraid to get a little pumpkin on their hands? Not these first grade "pumpkin investigators"! They carved, scraped, dug, counted, sorted, estimated, measured, and weighed these pumpkins and their seeds!
Congratulations to these Little Warriors, who won ribbons at the Walton County Fair last week. The word of the week at MSE was "creativity" and they are certainly showed their creative in their awesome artwork!

If you want to weld, build, wire, plumb, fix cars, work on computers, create hairstyles, dispense medicine, or save lives, Emerald Coast Technical College has a program for you! Today, our fifth graders attended a field trip and learned about all the opportunities for them to participate as dual - enrollment students and after graduation. The hands-on opportunities gave them a good glimpse into what could become a life-long career. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to inspire our students!
Congratulations to our October Students of the Month!
More Behavior Blitz fun!
Friday, October 13th was a very lucky day for the MSE students at the Behavior Blitz!
These students in Mrs. Ascetta's class are working toward their Accelerated Reader goal of 40 points in first grade. They are off to a great start at the end of the first quarter. Way to go, Little Warriors!
When the School Picture Day photographer calls your 5th grade class "the most well-behaved class I have ever photographed" and asks to take a picture with them... you get silly and do it! Way to go, Mrs. Forehand's class!
Thank you to all the families who joined us at our Annual Title 1 meeting and Open House last night. We welcomed 168 adults and 181 students, who were treated to a special performance by our first graders. We enjoy seeing our current students, their family members, and former MSE students, at Open House. We hope to see you all again at future Family Engagement opportunities!
Mrs. Forehand's fifth graders using an AVID strategy, creating a "one-pager". A One-Pager is a creative response to a learning experience. It allows students to respond imaginatively while
being brief and concise in making connections between words and images.
More house fun!!
Today was our first HOUSE meeting and the word of the week is TEAMWORK. Each HOUSE was given a challenge to complete as a team. All students worked together and accomplished their task! We also practiced our HOUSE handshakes and HOUSE chants. Be sure to ask your child about their first HOUSE meeting of the year!
This Friday is the deadline for ordering your child a HOUSE shirt! If you have misplaced your order form, be sure to include the information at the bottom with any money that you send in.
Mrs. Merchant's first graders celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day by drinking apple juice, eating apples, and using Apple Jacks to create graphs!
