MCS 8th and 9th graders are doing some good work in the CTE Trades Camp this summer! Students are learning by doing, visiting with trade experts at Beaufort Community College (Boat Building & Mech Engineering), Martin Community College, and the 64 East Trades Route. More info to come, but check out the experience the students received today, even building a picnic table! Good job guys! Thanks for enrolling in this awesome summer program.
Two young ladies with a passion for helping others volunteered for an NC Center for the Blind/Visually Impaired event in Washington, NC recently. Liya Browning and Mikiyah Davis, students of the now Martin County High School, participated in the program to help the local eastern NC chapter chaired by Martin County native, Mrs. Kim Revels. "These two ladies did a fantastic job and displayed charisma, sincerity, and maturity. It was great to have them volunteer this evening," said Revels. "They will receive certified volunteer hours on the Governor's letterhead". Browning also recently completed an internship assisting in a special needs classroom in the district. Davis is enhancing her healthcare pathway. Thank you to both students for your time, efforts, and excellent example.
If you have a rising 7th grader check out these school immunization clinics.
An internship in Animal Science can open doors and lead you to several opportunities. Reagan Cowan and Peyton Rogers interned with the MCS Animal Science program led by 1st year Ag Teacher, Ms. Patterson. Little did they know their involvement would put them in the Annual Livestock Show, participating in FFA Competitions, and meeting North Carolina House Representative Shelly Willingham. Kudos to these students for making the most of this opportunity! #MartinOffersMore
Our last day of school was a blast! We started out with a staff blow up costume race. Then the kids got to enjoy a fun day of games and dunking teachers. What a way to end a fabulous school year!!
A bitter sweet goodbye to Kathy Manning. She is retiring after giving Martin County many years of her service. We are sad to see her leave but happy her time is now her own. Her children came to help us celebrate her today.
We had a fabulous field day last week. All students had a chance to practice good sportsmanship and have loads of fun. The winners were rewarded with ribbons and medals, to remember this wonderful day with.
The MCS Internship program is on fire and Jayla Everett now knows how to handle EMS and fire calls. The MCS senior interned with Williamston Fire/Rescue, seen here with Chief Peaks and other local heroes, as she learned the ropes (and hoses) of firefighting.
Ms. Daniels' 7th grade math students are having fun making games for their math review. They are using Makey Makeys so the players can hear their recorded message of what steps to take in the game. What a fun review.
Gage Savage has enhanced his agricultural mechanic skills while interning at Atlantic & Southern Implement Company, formerly C&R Implement of Williamston. Gage has received rave reviews from the shop manager and is looking forward to continuing his pursuit of using his technical and mechanical skills via the Line Technician program after graduation.
A huge shout out to Hardison's Carolina Barbecue. They accommodated our Yellowstone Field trip group last Thursday. The food was prompt and the service was excellent. Thank you so much for hosting us!!!
Gaining work experience, serving with others, and making an impact in the local community is what internships are all about. Seen here serving at Georgia Deans Restaurant of Williamston, Elise Missigman far surpassed her required hours as she enjoys her intern environment and the business relationships she has formed.
We have a few students who are interning in the food service industry. Janielle James, a senior at RHS, is interning and now employed at Golden Skillet of Plymouth. Janielle, seen here with a few of her co-workers, reminds us it is not "fast food" but "good food quickly". This internship has helped her appreciate the business aspect of a restaurant while gaining customer service experience as well.
RMS 6th graders brought Yellowstone National Park to Jamesville Elementary today. The students made animal masks, binoculars, bird kites and even got to see a Coca-Cola geyser. The 6th graders loved leading the activities as much as the elementary students loved doing them. It was so much fun.
Ms. Willoughby's 7th grade math class is applying what they've learned in order to make a presentation of math problems. They are showing the process on poster board and explaining why their answer is the correct one. What a fun way to showcase knowledge!
MCS students continue to showcase their skills in the business community through our J.O.B.S. Internship Program. Landon Stalls, a Junior at RHS, uses his technical and mechanical skills at Cowan's Repair of Williamston.
Ms. Deaton's seventh grade science class had fun applying what they learned about energy into flying paper airplanes. They loaded potential energy into a rubber band by stretching it and the release of the rubber band turns the energy into kinetic energy. These two types of energies together is an example of mechanical energy. Who knew learning about energy could be so much fun!
Mr. Howell's World History Class did an awesome job with their research projects. Want to learn some world history? Come and check out the projects in the library.
