Our talented students have been hard at work in art class, creating their very own “folklore animals”! Inspired by stories from around the world, these imaginative creatures are brought to life through colorful artwork and creative writing. Each student has crafted a unique animal, complete with a backstory that showcases their creativity! We are so proud of our young artists and the magic of their imaginations!
Exciting things are happening in STEAM with Mrs. Ellis! Our 4th-grade students are diving into the world of creativity by learning how to design block and bubble letters. This fun and engaging activity helps build fine motor skills, encourages self-expression, and adds an artistic flair to their projects. We can't wait to see their amazing designs!

🌟 Exciting Learning in 3rd Grade Math with Mrs. Daniels! 🌟
Our 3rd graders in Mrs. Daniels' class are diving into the world of numbers with an exciting hands-on tool—the abacus! 🧮 This ancient device is helping our students strengthen their mental math skills in a fun and interactive way. By using the abacus, students are not only mastering arithmetic but also fostering critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. It's amazing to see their confidence grow as they explore new ways to approach math! Keep up the great work, mathematicians!
Bennett's Briefing for E. J. Hayes Students & Families for the Week of September 2, 2024.
Mrs. Garcia's fifth-grade math class is an excellent example of hands-on learning. Students use cubes to build prisms, which helps them understand volume by physically manipulating shapes. This interactive activity teaches volume and enhances spatial reasoning and critical thinking skills. It's an effective way to make math concepts more concrete and accessible. Supporting innovative teaching methods can significantly engage students and improve their learning experiences.

Students are learning by doing, visiting with trade experts at Beaufort Community College (Boat Building & Mech Engineering), Martin Community College, and the 64 East Trades Route. More info to come, but check out the experience the students received today, even building a picnic table! Good job guys! Thanks for enrolling in this awesome summer program.
Two young ladies with a passion for helping others volunteered for an NC Center for the Blind/Visually Impaired event in Washington, NC recently. Liya Browning and Mikiyah Davis, students of the now Martin County High School, participated in the program to help the local eastern NC chapter chaired by Martin County native, Mrs. Kim Revels. "These two ladies did a fantastic job and displayed charisma, sincerity, and maturity. It was great to have them volunteer this evening," said Revels. "They will receive certified volunteer hours on the Governor's letterhead". Browning also recently completed an internship assisting in a special needs classroom in the district. Davis is enhancing her healthcare pathway. Thank you to both students for your time, efforts, and excellent example.
The MCS Internship program is on fire and Jayla Everett now knows how to handle EMS and fire calls. The MCS senior interned with Williamston Fire/Rescue, seen here with Chief Peaks and other local heroes, as she learned the ropes (and hoses) of firefighting.
