💙 At MES, we believe learning goes far beyond textbooks and test scores. 📚
Each day, our teachers and students work to build character, kindness, and resilience — the qualities that shape who we become and how we treat others. 🌟
We’re proud to grow not just smart students, but good humans. 💫 Let's go Bluestreaks!
It was a spook-tacular Friday in Mrs. Young’s 1st grade!
These little readers wrapped up their reading unit with a fun Readers Theater performance that had everyone smiling from ear to ear! 🎭
They also had not one, not two, but three special birthdays to celebrate — talk about a party! 🎉🎈They were paws-itively having a blast at their pet show! 🐶🐾
To top it off, they raced into the weekend with a hands-on force and motion experiment in science! 🏎️💨
There’s no slowing down these Bluestreaks — they’re learning, laughing, and loving every minute! ⚡️💙
Our kindergarten students spun into a fun lesson about spiders and their webs, and even had a special sight word activity with Miss Jenn! Meanwhile, our 3rd graders were busy making weather predictions using persimmon seeds — what a creative way to learn about science and nature!
There’s never a dull moment when learning comes alive at MES! 💙⚡️
We are so thankful for a school and community that values hands-on learning experiences like Lincoln School Day. Our students stepped back in time, learned through doing, and made memories they’ll treasure forever.
Thank you to everyone who helps make these special learning opportunities possible! 💙
Career Day at Lake Land College!
Our Juniors and Seniors recently visited Lake Land College for Career Day, an annual event held on the first Tuesday of October. Nearly 1,200 high school students from across the region attended to explore future career paths and college opportunities.
Students had the chance to register for over 175 different sessions across a wide variety of fields — from health care and technology to education, agriculture, and more! Each session, lasting either 20 or 50 minutes, allowed students to dive deeper into career areas of interest and learn how to set themselves on a path toward those goals.
Thank you to Lake Land College for hosting such a valuable experience and helping our students take one step closer to their future careers!

The 2025 Construction Trades Expo brought together students from 37 schools to explore exciting, hands-on careers in the trades — including carpentry, electrical work, heavy equipment operation, welding, advanced manufacturing, and aviation technology.
Martinsville’s Career and Technical Education students were proud to attend and gain valuable insight into high-demand, high-skill trade professions that keep our communities strong.

As we wrap up the week, our students have been hard at work practicing their spelling words, soaking up the sunshine on our new pickleball and basketball courts, and enjoying every minute of learning and play! 🏀☀️
We also had a special visitor — Mr. Landry, one of our MHS graduates, joined us to help in classrooms while earning his college practicum hours. We love seeing our former students come back to give back! 💫 Once a Bluestreak, always a Bluestreak! ⚡️
MES has enjoyed learning together this week! Our 5th graders have been tackling challenging math problems, our 2nd graders are getting into the fall spirit, and we have even more great moments to share from our Lincoln School Day adventures. 📚🌽
A big shout-out to our amazing teachers for always making learning fun and meaningful!
During the Student and Staff Success portion, our Junior High Softball Team was recognized for their tremendous season. These talented girls and their coaches made history by capturing the Regional Championship — and made our entire school community proud! 🥎💙
We also heard from our 3rd and 5th grade teachers and students, who presented about our new reading curriculum. We were so impressed by the knowledge our students have gained and the incredible writing they shared, especially their use of text evidence to support their ideas. Truly impressive work! 📚✨

More WooHoo smiles from MES to brighten your day! 💙🤍
Our Bluestreaks are shining with pride after earning a trip to the WooHoo Cart! Hard work, great attitudes, and GRIT are what make MES such a special place to learn and grow. 🌟
High school students were invited to attend an informational session with Ethan Osborne from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign!
Ethan shared valuable information about the university’s academic programs, majors, admission requirements, campus life, and more. Students had the opportunity to ask questions and learn what it takes to become part of the Fighting Illini family!
A big thank-you to Ethan for visiting Martinsville High School and inspiring our students to explore their future college and career pathways. 🌟

We love celebrating students who show GRIT — Generosity, Responsibility, Integrity, and Teamwork — each and every day. These smiling faces prove that hard work and positive choices pay off!
Our MES students had a blast choosing a prize from the WooHoo Cart this week! It was a tough decision with all the goodies aboard, but every choice was well-earned.
These hardworking Bluestreaks finished Quarter 1 showing GRIT — going above and beyond in the classroom and setting a positive example for others. 💙🤍
We’re so proud of their effort, attitude, and teamwork. Keep shining, MES! 🌟

It’s Volleyball “Senior Night”… with a twist!
Since we don’t have any senior volleyball players this year, we’re turning the celebration into something fun for everyone!
We’re inviting our student section and fans to dress like “seniors” — think walkers, cardigans, gray wigs, and glasses — and show up ready to cheer loud for our Lady Bluestreaks! 💪
Let’s pack the gym and make it a night to remember! 💙🤍

They are both ILMEA All-State eligible which will be announced if they are going at a later time. Way to go Bluestreaks!
Our first graders had an incredible day learning and laughing with Mrs. Parcel’s high school students at the Lincoln School House! Students got hands-on with history — milking cows, making butter, shelling corn, washing laundry, and even sawing logs! 💪🪵
Our 6th graders had so much fun at the Lincoln School and we just had to share more of the fun! Our students truly got to experience what school was like long ago. We love seeing their smiles and curiosity shine through. What a wonderful way to bring history to life!
