Kindergarteners took their annual trip to the Pike County Fair today. They visited many animal exhibits and were even able to have hands-on interactions with some of them. The excitement began with a bus ride to the fair, driven by everyone's favorite bus driver, Ms. Paula. What a great day to be a kindergartener at MES!

Mrs. Simmons' class had a great time making aprons.

Rattler Football plays at Genoa Central this Friday at 7:00. #GoRattlers

In a fascinating science experiment, our curious third graders delved into the world of magnetism to explore which everyday items were magnetic and which ones weren't. With magnets in hand, students demonstrated a thorough understanding of attracting and repelling forces, observing how magnets interacted with various objects and recording their findings with excitement and curiosity.

Coach Shanks's Physical Science class reviewed conversion factors and practiced dimensional analysis through an interactive board game! Who knew tracking units and canceling out terms could get this intense?

Students worked together to solve complex multi-step problems, catch calculation errors in real time, and build a rock-solid foundation for the rest of the year. #RattlersInSTEM

The game against Danville will be live-streamed at the link below: https://phirelink.com/arkwest-livestream/ #GoRattlers

This week in class, 3rd graders are diving into the delightful story of 'Marisol McDonald Doesn't Match'! Our 3rd-grade students are having a blast making their own peanut butter and jelly burritos, just like our beloved story character Marisol. They're learning all about individuality and self-expression while getting creative with their own unique burrito-making skills. Who knew PB&J could be so much fun?

Forever daydreaming of a Rattler Pep Rally! Friday cannot come soon enough.

Come out and support our Rattlers as they take on the Danville Little Johns this Friday night in Danville! #MurfOnTop #GoBigRed #RattlerNation #MHS

Our MES Art students would love your help.
It's a Great Day to Be a Rattler!

Get ready to be amazed! 4th graders in Ms. Cornish's science class are unleashing their inner scientists with the Great Cookie Dunk Experiment! They're harnessing the power of the scientific method to craft hypotheses and make groundbreaking observations, and tomorrow they'll master the art of CER writing to bring it all together!

Physical Science students practice their data collecting skills by completing tasks at stations around the room! Safe lab practices and effective data collection skills are both crucial elements for success in science class! #RattlersInSTEM

It's Game Day!! The Rattlers take on the Danville Little Johns tonight at 7:00.

Mrs. Fatheree’s senior math class started the year by putting their creativity and math skills to work designing and decorating a bulletin board for the hallway! Students worked together to plan the design, create the pieces, and put everything together. A little math, a little creativity, and a lot of teamwork!📏🎨

JR High FCA, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, met for their first time of the school year today! Over 38 7th-9th graders met to hear God's word, and for that we are thankful!

Thank you to the wonderful churches and families who support these young people with lunch and the impact they make on their lives.

Thanks to Mr. Chad for stopping by our Geography classes today! You Rock!!

Pep Rally Time Change!

Archery season is vastly approaching.
