Annual Brownie Business at Maple School
Maple third grade students recently completed an economics unit that included establishing a brownie business. The class extends its thanks to all of the Maple students, parents, and staff who supported the efforts.
As part of the economics unit, the students baked and sold dozens of brownies. By starting and running their own business, they learned about entrepreneurship, including pricing, advertising, production, and selling. Every student had a job, and everyone’s job was important to the overall success of the venture.
The profits totaling $363.63 were donated to Rescue Village.
The students also thank the parent volunteers Mrs. Secic, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. Feller, Mrs. Quinn, Mrs. Rozic, Mrs. Perrico, and Mrs. Acuff for their additional generosity and support.

Mini Relay for Life
Munson Night at the Museum
Have you ever wanted to meet Emelia Earhart, Anne Frank or Albert Einstein? Well, parents and family members who attended Munson Third Grade’s third annual “Night at the Museum” on Thursday, May 23 got the chance.
It was quite a night to remember as students, who had researched important figures from history, became that person in a wax museum presentation. Students dressed as their character and presented research they found on that famous person.
Some had posters and others Powerpoint presentations, but all were very convincing as they assumed the identity of their favorite person from history.
