College Application Week
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.

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.
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.
