Samantha Breedlove’s students at Mena Middle School are finding new & creative ways to learn. Today it was a Grammar Whodunnit. Students searched for clues and answered grammar related questions to find out who injured the contestant in a game show.
A big shout out is appropriate for some of the most important staff members at Mena Public Schools on National School Nurse Day!!!
They are critical to the health and well-being of our students. They have taken additional duties on during the past year due to the pandemic & done an outstanding job. Thank you all.
