So proud of these talented Martinsville Junior-Senior High students from Mrs. Murphy’s English class!

7th grader Natalie Webb earned 1st Place and 8th grader Ben Jenness earned 3rd Place in the VFW District 17 Patriots Pen Essay Contest. What an impressive accomplishment! Their essays will now move on to the next level of competition.

Good luck to all of our students competing tonight. Go Bluestreaks!

While students enjoy their last day of break, our teachers are back in the buildings preparing for a strong start tomorrow. Today included meaningful professional learning with guest speaker Jeremy Clodfelder – Build A Better Boat, which focused on navigating challenges, leading with clarity, and performing at the highest level.

Staff also enjoyed a fun white elephant gift exchange, a delicious breakfast and lunch from the cafeteria staff, and spent time getting classrooms ready to welcome students back. We’re excited to start the new year strong! 💙🤍
