There will be a School Improvement Team meeting on 10/16 in the media center after school. All are invited to attend.
In conjunction with Fire Prevention Week, Chief Michael Peaks of Williamston Fire & Rescue and Martin Community College Fire Training Program Director, Chief Larry Johnson, visited the Innovation Campus to deliver information regarding work-based learning, skill development, career opportunities, scholarships, and more! Students were able to obtain information about the Williamston Fire/Rescue Junior Firefighter Program for 9th & 10th graders and the High School Fire Academy for 11th and 12th graders. These are great programs that have current, future, and possible lifelong positive impacts. Whether it is gaining education and certifications, getting an associate degree in Public Safety Administration from MCC, serving the community, or pursuing a career in Emergency Management, the Junior Firefighter and the High School Fire Academy can put a student on the path of success.
MCS H.O.S.A. (Health Occupations Students of America) visited East Carolina University's School of Nursing & School of Dentistry recently. Students were able to obtain specific information about each program, academic requirements, and career opportunities!
MCS Sr. Da'Niyah Pettaway leads and advises students in her Culinary Internship at SCHS. She serves in Foods II class with Mrs. Hale (CTE Foods & Nutrition) as they prepare pizza and shepherd's pie in the culinary kitchen.

MCS Sr. Alijah Lassiter participated in a 3-hour work-based learning activity at Pitt Community College recently. Through MIG & TIG welding, along with grinding and smoothing of metal, Alijah was able to put his career interest into practice.
You do not have to wait for high school to take hands-on classes such as Exploring Environment and Natural Resources! Just as Samantha Hoggard's seventh graders at Riverside Middle School.
This morning students used a standard water monitoring kit to test water samples from the water fountain, the workroom sink, the Roanoke River, and the Pamlico River.
The samples were tested for dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, phosphate, and nitrate. They have been learning about water quality and pollution so this was a hands-on opportunity to analyze local water sources and our drinking water.

RHS Senior Brooklyn Bailey shares from her internship; "Being a library assistant has given me a perspective on how much work truly goes into organizing a media center.”
(B. Bailey - Media Science & Technology)
As an MCS Intern in HS Counseling, Janielle James shares, "Another task that I do as an MCS Intern is show new students around RHS. This involves showing them where their classes are, who their teacher is, and where they will be coming in, and going out in the morning and at the end of the day. It is good to see new people coming to RHS and even better being able to show them around as one of the upperclassmen". Thank you Janielle for being an ambassador for RHS and assisting the school administration.
Softball is just around the corner!
Thank you to all of our partners for the MCS Internship Program! These J.O.B.S. (Journeys of Beginning Success) are placing MCS students on a pathway of academic and career success!
