MES was excited to welcome a new feathered friend in town… meet Gertie Goose! Gertie greeted our students in her fabulous back-to-school outfit. Not only does she look amazing, but she lays Golden Eggs each week awarding classes who show excellence by: ✔️ Keeping their classrooms clean ✔️ Walking quietly in the halls ✔️ Following recess rules ✔️ Showing respect and responsibility during specials Bluestreaks never know where Gertie might pop up next, but they always know she’s on the lookout for classes who show true GRIT! 💙 We can’t wait for you to follow along with the adventures (and awards!) of Gertie Goose this year.

Check out this week’s Bluestreak Athletic Events!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us tonight for our Bluestreak Open House! Our teachers and staff were so excited to meet the families of their students. We are truly blessed with an amazing community that showed up big to welcome and encourage our Bluestreaks with games, prizes, and back-to-school gifts. Students enjoyed Kona Ice and yummy treats. A special shoutout to our incredible Martinsville Ag Fair who provided each MES student with a Bluestreak blue MAF t-shirt! Our Title I staff for handed out free books so students can get a jump start on meeting those AR goals! What a fantastic celebration to kick off the year! 💙

We wrapped up the week on a positive note—soaking up the sunshine, playing with friends, and even challenging our PE teacher, Mr. Mac, to a lively game of 4 Square! Our 3rd graders also got hands-on in science, exploring the effects of carbon dioxide. They quickly discovered that Mrs. Manuel’s “magic tricks” aren’t really magic at all—there’s some exciting science behind her surprises! What a great way to finish the week at MES! 💙

Our first week of school ended with an important safety refresher! Transportation Director Brenda Gilbert led a bus evacuation drill, and our students did an awesome job listening, learning, and practicing. Huge thanks to Brenda and our bus team for putting student safety first every day. 💙

It's BLUE Friday and Meet the Streaks! The Booster Club will start serving meals at 6:00 PM.

It's a Great Day to be a Bluestreak!

Our students have started the year showing GRIT and excitement for what’s ahead. Here are even more snapshots of the fun. What a great start to our school year! 💙✨

Our elementary students are back in action, and what an amazing first week it’s been! Classrooms are buzzing with learning, laughter, and new friendships. We’re so proud of how quickly our kids have jumped back into routines while still having tons of fun. Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!

Here's an announcement from Mrs. Cross, one of our Math Teachers.
