MSE’s third graders are participating in the "Grasses in Classes" program, which gives students a direct role in the restoration of Choctawhatchee Bay. These students are learning about brackish water, snodgrass, and water pollution in the bay. This is a year-long project that will culminate in the students planting the grass they have tended along the shore of Choctawhatchee Bay.  submitted by Krisy Spence

MSE families have been busy decorating pumpkins for the annual pumpkin patch at Maude Saunders.  It’s always fun to see the creative ideas our students and families come up with!  Family engagement is an important goal at Maude Saunders, and we love to see our families get involved in school activities.
