Don't miss the Dental Van Tuesday, October 17, 2023!
Ms. Daniel's 7th grade math class is learning about unit rates. Today, they worked in groups to find the calories per ounce of various drinks or food items. This allowed them to compare their findings and see which is the healthier choice.
Ms. Hoggard's Career and Technical Education classes virtually visited various types of forests around the world. The students have been learning about the importance, impact, and benefit of trees on people and the environment. Science careers, here we come!
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. Whether it is gaining education and certifications, getting an associate degree in Public Safety Administration from MCC, serving the community, or pursuing a career in Emergency Management, the Junior Firefighter and the High School Fire Academy can put a student on the path of success.
The Dental Van will be at RMS on October 17.
Vision screening is coming for all 8th graders.

Mrs. Stalls’ class did some pumpkin investigating. They read the story Pumpkin Jack, by Will Hubbell. Afterwards, the students cleaned out a pumpkin to put lunch trash in and bury. The students will dig it up on Earth Day to see what was decomposed. Can't wait till April to see what's left!
Today we had several classes visit the Louvre in Paris, the Sistine Chapel in Rome and several other European sites virtually.

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.
