~About Miss Jesseka~

My name is Jesseka Engels. I grew up in Heltonville, IN and came to Muncie to attend Ball State. I graduated in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I enjoy reading and dabbling in crochet and other small crafting activities in my spare time. This is my 6th year teaching Kindergarten here at Longfellow and my 8th year working with MP3.

~About Miss Heidi~

Hi! My name is Heidi Burke, and I’m a proud Ball State student who loves working with students and making a difference. When I’m not studying, you’ll probably find me on the rugby field, getting creative with a new craft project, or hanging out with my cat. I bring passion and energy to everything I do, and I’m always excited to connect with others!
