Our Battle of the Books team had fun competing today in the regional competition. Even though they came in fourth place we are so proud of their hard work and dedication. Thank you Ms. Williams for driving us today and a special thanks to Mrs. Horodyski who gave Coach Horn a break this year and made our team shirts. It's definitely a team effort. Go Knights!!
MIMS students spent the day giving back by packing bags for the food pantry in Jamesville. Opportunities like this remind us how important it is to encourage community service and help students see the impact they can make close to home.
They wrapped up their hard work with a well-earned lunch at Hardison’s BBQ—a perfect end to a meaningful day!
Mrs. Stalls is proud to be Kayla's teacher.
The Easter Bunny is coming but he needs some help!
Say Something Spirit Week
With every bookfair a student from each grade is randomly drawn to receive one item. These are our three winners of the spring bookfair; Waylon, Crista, and Jordan. Congratulations.
Extra. Extra. Read all about it!
8th grade MIMS students became newspaper editors this week in order to showcase their WWII knowledge. Students had to design a newspaper filled with events, data, and images to showcase all the happenings of World War II.
Yesterday our 7th grade MIMS students hit the road with Ms. Stalls’ class for a day full of memories. Our students were able to make new friends and see their science lesson of force and motion in action.

Mrs. Horodyski’s 8th grade Career Exploration class has been studying the Health Science Career Cluster. Today, students had the opportunity to experience a hands-on activity focused on basic suturing techniques. During the activity, students applied what they have been learning by practicing how medical professionals stitch skin together. This engaging experience allowed students to test their skills and gain a better understanding of the precision and care required in many healthcare careers.
Proud of the leadership skills our MIMS students showed on Friday. They presented to the leaders of a technology company about all the ways they use STEAM, specifically technology in the classroom.
Our MIMS students took learning on the road today with an exciting trip to North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores followed by a beach picnic at Fort Macon State Park.
Throughout the day, students enhanced their science skills through hands-on experiences. They got their hands dirty while learning how to test water quality, explored the importance of protecting marine ecosystems, and discovered fascinating facts about sea turtles. Students also enjoyed shelling along the shore and touring the aquarium to observe a wide variety of marine life up close.
This trip was a perfect example of STEAM learning in action. Students applied Science by testing water quality and studying marine habitats. Technology and Engineering were explored through the tools and methods used to monitor coastal environments and protect wildlife. Art came into play as students observed the natural beauty and patterns found in shells and marine organisms. Finally, Mathematics was used while analyzing data and understanding measurements related to water quality and ecosystems.
Experiences like this allow students to connect classroom learning with the real world, encouraging curiosity, exploration, and a deeper understanding of the environment around them. It was a great day of discovery, teamwork, and unforgettable memories!
Special thanks to the Aquarium Scholars Grant that helped to make this experience more affordable for our students.
Our 8th grade MIMS historians went beyond the textbook and stepped straight into the trenches of World War I!
Students were challenged to identify a real problem soldiers faced during trench warfare — then design a practical solution. After analyzing conditions like constant rain, poor visibility, contaminated water, and limited communication, they got to work as engineers and innovators.
Their ideas were impressive and creative: drying stations to combat the relentless mud, advanced spy telescopes for safer reconnaissance, water filtration systems to improve sanitation, and even underground pipe systems to move keep the trenches cleaner.
History + critical thinking + innovation = learning brought to life! We’re proud of how our students used problem-solving skills to tackle real-world challenges from the past.
