Martinsville Community Unit School District #C3

Members of the Class of 2026 have been busy planning for life after high school and exploring future opportunities.

Recently, Hector Herrera, Ben Hiatt, and Evan Seaman visited Indiana State University, where they toured campus, met with admissions counselors, and enjoyed a great day learning about college life.

In addition, Ireland Parker participated in a job shadow experience at Horizon Health in Paris, gaining valuable insight into healthcare careers.

Students interested in setting up job shadows or college visits should see Mrs. Lowry, the school counselor, for more details.

Keep working hard and preparing for your futures, Bluestreaks! 💙

This year, our Jr./Sr. High School implemented a daily 30-minute Bluestreak Period designed to support student success and connection. During this time, students attend class and club meetings, receive homework help from teachers, participate in SEL lessons and reflection activities, and complete test-preparation work.

Students who maintain good attendance and complete required activities earn a Fun Friday reward.

This week, our junior high students celebrated with a fun activity in the gym as Mr. Evers, current principal and former elementary PE teacher, brought back a classic favorite: the parachute game.

Next week, our high school students who have met the requirements will be rewarded with an extended one-hour lunch period.

What a fun day — and great incentives — to be a Bluestreak! 💙

It was a GREAT week at MES! 💙 There’s nothing better than being creative, learning new things, and having fun with our friends along the way. From hands-on projects to lots of laughter in the classrooms, our students continue to shine bright in everything they do. We are so proud of the joy, teamwork, and excitement for learning that fills our halls each day. MES is truly a special place!

Mrs. Gullquist’s students took their Social Studies learning to the next level by turning their unit on Ancient Egypt into a hands-on STEM challenge! After learning about the Great Pyramids of Giza, how they were built, and why they were so important to Egyptian civilization, students worked in teams to design and construct their own pyramids. Just like the ancient Egyptians, they had to think like engineers planning strong bases, measuring carefully, and problem-solving when their structures wouldn’t stand firm. Students discussed how real pyramids were built with massive stone blocks, how they were aligned with the stars, and why they were created as tombs for pharaohs. It took teamwork, communication, perseverance, and critical thinking to get their pyramids built sturdy and tall! This project was the perfect blend of history and STEM bringing the wonders of Egypt to life while building collaboration and problem-solving skills. We love seeing our students learn by doing at MES!

That’s right… you’re not seeing things — those are kids and a goats in diapers. Mrs. Feliciano’s class had a very special visitor today… and let’s just say it was the G.O.A.T. of all classroom surprises! The students enjoyed a little “goat yoga,” and while we’re not sure how much actual yoga happened, we are sure there was lots of giggling, balancing, and tiny hooves climbing. MES is always finding new ways to make learning memorable and today was simply baaa-rilliant!

Mrs. Parcel’s Foundations of Teaching class is diving into a unit on how to teach elementary students to read. As part of this hands-on experience, students have been visiting the elementary school to read AR books with younger learners.

It’s been a great opportunity for our future educators to build connections, practice literacy strategies, and inspire a love of reading in the next generation of Bluestreaks. 📚💙

The Lady Bluestreaks ended their season tonight with a hard-fought loss to Cumberland. We are incredibly proud of these young ladies for their dedication, teamwork, and heart throughout the season. Thank you to our players, coaches, families, and fans for your unwavering support. It was a great year to be a Bluestreak!

Our kindergarteners have been busy putting their building skills and spelling skills together! Using LEGO blocks, they built their words one brick at a time. Hands-on learning like this makes practicing letters and sounds fun, engaging, and meaningful. We love seeing our students create, collaborate, and grow, one word at a time! 💙

When the sun shines bright after those long, cold winter days, it’s the perfect time to soak up every minute before those chilly temperatures try to sneak back in! Ms. Woodard and Ms. Sheila took AR reading outside to do just that — combining fresh air, sunshine, and a good book.

What a beautiful day at MES! The sun was shining just like our kids. There’s nothing better than seeing smiling faces enjoying the fresh air and warm weather together. We’re definitely looking forward to many more days just like this one! 💙

The Lady Bluestreaks travel to Casey Westfield tomorrow night, Feb 19th to face Cumberland in the Regional Championship Game!

The Booster Club will cover admission for all students in grades 7th–12th who plan to attend.

Let’s pack the gym in Royal Blue, bring the energy, and cheer the girls on to victory!

Let’s go Bluestreaks! 💙

Mrs. Young’s first graders proved that tiny hands can accomplish BIG things! They set a goal to write their numbers from 1 all the way to 1,000, and they did it! We are so proud of their perseverance, hard work, and determination to reach this incredible milestone. What a “true feat” for first grade! Meanwhile, Miss Julie’s preschoolers took advantage of the warm, beautiful weather and broke out the new steppingstones! They had so much fun building their gross motor skills, balance, and coordination while enjoying time outside. We love celebrating both big academic achievements and joyful hands-on learning moments at MES! 💙

The HS Boys traveled to Cumberland tonight and fell short on the road. We are proud of their effort and determination. Congratulations to Ben on being selected as the recipient of the Lake Land College tuition waiver!

The JH Lady Bluestreaks picked up TWO wins tonight against Pal/Hut! We also had the honor of recognizing our four 8th grade players and their families. Congratulations to these young ladies on a successful night and thank you for your dedication to Bluestreak athletics!

Menu Change for Tomorrow !

The High School choir, The Villagers, were honored to be invited to sing at Island Grove Baptist Church on Sunday, February 15th. The students greatly enjoyed the opportunity to share their musical talents and be part of the worship service. It was a meaningful experience for everyone involved, and they are grateful for the warm welcome they received.
