Doing what No One Else Does!
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.
Mrs. Stalls’ class did some pumpkin investigating. They read the story Pumpkin Jack, by Will Hubbell. Afterwards, the students cleaned out a pumpkin to put lunch trash in and bury. The students will dig it up on Earth Day to see what was decomposed. Can't wait till April to see what's left!
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.

October is National Principals Month! We'd like to give a shout-out to our MCS Principals who lead their school teams every day - all to benefit our students!
We are proud to say four of our nine principals are graduates of Martin County Schools!
Donna Manning, Michelle Mobley, and Misty Rushing are graduates of Williamston High School and Dr. Angela Cross graduated from Roanoke High School.
Thank you Principals for all you do for our students!
Today we had several classes visit the Louvre in Paris, the Sistine Chapel in Rome and several other European sites virtually. Mrs. Stinson's Social Studies Classes are studying Europe's Renaissance period. They were able to virtually see renaissance paintings and architecture up close. How exciting!
Students had a chance to get creative while learning how a fossil is made. Ms. Leggett's 6th grade Social Studies Class created foldable books to demonstrate the steps involved for a dinosaur to become fossilized.
Picture Day is tomorrow, Oct. 3!!!
Just as Dr. White stated, we have started a 5th-grade Career Awareness Program! Sharing information regarding CTE and answering questions regarding job and career opportunities made for a great afternoon at Jamesville Elementary and E.J. Hayes.
2nd & 7 made a stop at Rodgers Elementary School this morning to share another adventure with The Hog Mollies!
Jai'Marqus Jones, the team veteran; Gabby Bennett, Jurnee Matthewson and TyKala Beach teamed up and read to all of the RES second graders.
Before the team returned to their classes, they stopped to say good morning to Bryce and grab a photo!
As always, a big thank you to 2nd & 7 for making this opportunity possible for our athletes and our second graders!
Don't forget Picture Day is Tuesday, Oct.3!!!!
Heather and Jessika from Martin Memorial Library visited Ms. Leggett's class to introduce Libby, their e-book and audio book app. It's a great resource for all of our students but especially our Battle of the Books Team. All students were given library cards as well.
Mrs. Manning treated her 6th grade ELA students with a virtual visit to the Amazon jungle. The class read, Why Monkeys Live in Trees, by Julius Lester and The Case of the Monkeys That Fell from the Trees by Susan Quinlan. This engaging activity brought the settings of the stories to life. Mrs. Rushing loved it as well!
