Last night, we celebrated our amazing 8th grade fall student-athletes, recognizing their hard work, dedication, and Bulldog spirit! Many of these young athletes are in their final middle school season, and we couldn’t be prouder of how much they’ve grown, both on and off the field. As they prepare to take the next step to the demands of high school athletics, we know they'll bring the skills and passion they've developed with them. We can’t wait to see all the great things they’ll accomplish!

Two teams from Martinsville Middle School- the Skibidi Toilets and the A-Team- competed against 16 other teams from around the region in the Go Tec VEX Robotics competition yesterday at the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research! 🤖 In this coding and engineering competition, teams compete in a teamwork challenge and robot skills challenges that test their driving and coding abilities. Participation is a great way for these STEM-loving students to grow their engineering, coding, and collaborative skills. The A-Team walked away from the competition with the Most Enthusiastic Award 🌟 and both teams gained some memories and skills that will last a lifetime!

Yesterday, some of our preschoolers had a pizza party! 🍕🍕🍕 The party was inspired by the book "Pete the Cat and the Perfect Pizza Party" by Kimberly and James Dean, which classes read together to practice alliteration. For their own pizza party, these young chefs 🧑‍🍳 worked together to write a recipe for their pizza then actually got to create pizzas of their own while remembering the correct order of operations. Everyone agreed that the best part was definitely the taste test!

Last week, our MMS band hosted their First Performance National Day of Celebration concert event to open up our AVID Family Night! 🎺🎷🎵🥁 This day of celebration was created by the Music Achievement Council to celebrate, honor, and encourage the early achievements of music students across the U.S., providing a platform for these young musicians to showcase their newly acquired musical skills in a public setting! The students showcased the steps they have taken in their musical journey, and they have already come such a long way! We can't wait to hear them play again during their winter concert!

Today was a perfect day for a field trip! 🍂 Our PHES and AHES fourth graders traveled to Fairy Stone State Park today to plant the native black willow trees they have been sprouting in their classrooms thanks to the Dan River Basin Association's Streamside Trees in the Classroom. Students spent the whole day outside at the park, immersed in all things nature. Besides planting their trees, they also learned about the important role riparian buffers play in protecting our waterways, the geology of fairy stones, played a trivia game, and more! Our MHS AP biology students also got in on the fun, preparing and facilitating some creative activities for the younger students! Thank you to all of our amazing high school students, teachers, and community partners who came together to make this day possible for our young learners!
