Hook: Learning the Constitution — with HANDPRINTS!🖐️
Mrs. Ivey’s 1st graders dove into civics today and made their own classroom constitution, writing rules they believe in and signing with painted handprints. Bright colors, big ideas, and tiny hands making a promise to be kind and fair. 🌈✨

Ever wondered what signing a historic document felt like? Today, 2nd grade students in Mrs. Britt's class celebrated Constitution Day. They learned about the delegates from North Carolina who signed the Constitution — then pretended to sign their own names using feathers! The kids loved practicing the old-fashioned handwriting and imagining being part of history.

Hook: Small groups, big growth! 🌟📚
Mrs. White’s 4th graders dove into vocabulary practice and literacy skill-building — and we loved having Ms. Isabel Taylor from Martin County High School Early College join in to guide students on finding the main idea. Seeing students connect words to meaning is everything!

Did someone say rainbow science? 🌈🧪 Scientists in Mrs. Cullipher's Pre K classroom practiced fine motor skills using droppers, squeezed carefully, and discovered what happens when colors mix. It was hands-on, exciting, and a perfect way to spark curiosity and introduce simple science concepts.

Our 2nd graders in Mrs. Britt’s class took time today to remember Sept. 11 and Patriots Day ❤️ They participated in thoughtful activities and we all observed a moment of silence this morning to honor all those affected. We’re so proud of our students' respect and empathy.

Could its next chapter inspire a young student to fall in love with band?
That clarinet, trumpet, flute—or other band instrument that once filled your home with music—may be ready for an encore.
Martin County Schools’ growing Elementary Band Program is seeking previously loved instruments to help our youngest musicians take their very first steps into the world of music.
We have an immediate need for 1 clarinet, 1 trumpet, and 1 flute, and anticipate additional needs as the program continues to grow.
For a new student, your donated instrument could become more than something they learn to play. It could be the beginning of confidence, creativity, friendships, performances, and a love of music that stays with them for years to come.
🎺 Pass along the music.
Donated instruments may be dropped off at any MCS campus or at MCS Central Office, 407 East Boulevard, Williamston.
