The day before Thanksgiving break, students in Mrs. Betteridge class didn't start break early. Students began prepping for their MAP test by participating in a Thanksgiving themed escape room that reviewed 6th, 7th, and 8th grade material. The students who escaped the fastest earned a certificate and a mustang coin. I super huge shoutout to all the students who had a positive attitude and great participation in escape room. #ItsAGreatDayToBeAMustang
