🌍 Tasting Around the World at MST! 🌍
This Thursday, students at MST took their taste buds on a global adventure during auxiliary classes with a special Tasting Around the World event, beautifully organized by Mrs. Banks!
Our students had the opportunity to try delicious dishes from four different countries:
🇹🇼 Cucumber Salad from Taiwan
🇲🇽 Mexican Street Corn from Mexico
🇯🇲 Jerk Chicken from Jamaica
🇵🇭 Beko Rice from the Philippines
It was an exciting and educational experience that brought cultures to life through flavor. Thank you, Mrs. Banks, for creating such a meaningful and tasty learning opportunity!

📸🌿 Exciting News from the STEM Lab! 🌿📸
We are thrilled to announce that select students will be chosen to participate in a special science and photography project designed to deepen their understanding of nature through the lens of a camera. As part of this unique, hands-on learning experience, students will be issued a Canon EOS R50 camera for a one-week period to document scientific observations and explore local natural environments.
This exciting opportunity has been made possible through the generous support of the Arkansas Rural Game and Fish Wildlife Grant, which has provided our school with professional-grade camera equipment. With these tools, students will engage in project-based outdoor learning, capturing images of local habitats, native plants and animals, and ecological patterns that align with our integrated science and technology curriculum.
We can’t wait to see the world through their eyes as they connect science, creativity, and the outdoors in this innovative educational experience!
Stay tuned for updates and student work! 📷🍃

✨4th Grade ✨Mineral Sleuths!
Students worked in groups to determine the identity of "mystery minerals" by performing tests to identify specific attributes of each mineral. Students then referenced the attributes on a website to determine each minerals identities.

When it comes to Administrative Assistants, MST is tremendously blessed. These ladies go above and beyond to make sure that we all have what we need!!!
✨Team Kinder ✨visited the Children's Museum of Memphis. Students had a blast learning through hands-on exhibits! 👩🏼🔬👨🏽🔬
In celebration of Earth Day, students in Mrs. Gilbert’s first grade class rolled up their sleeves, put on gloves, and took to the campus with bags in hand for a school-wide clean-up! We’re so proud of their efforts to help keep our environment clean and beautiful. Way to go, young Earth heroes!🌍
Kindergarteners have been studying the life cycle of a chicken. From the egg to the chick, students have been engaged with this hands-on experience. They have eagerly been waiting for hatch day, and it has finally arrived! Meet our MST chicks! 🐣
🦋 Butterfly Magic in 3rd Grade! 🌼
Our 3rd graders have been hard at work learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly—from tiny eggs to fluttering wings! On Monday, they got to witness the magic firsthand as we released our butterflies into the wild. What a beautiful moment to see them take flight!
To top it all off, we rolled up our sleeves and got a little dirty with Mr. Atkins, planting wildflowers that will help support butterflies and other pollinators. 🌸🌿
It was a day full of wonder, learning, and hands-on fun—science and nature coming to life right before our eyes! 🐛➡️🦋🌼

Math is more fun with snacks!
In class, Mrs. Perez—Sagaskey’s awesome intern—used Apple Jacks to teach teen numbers, and the kids loved it! Who wouldn’t enjoy learning math while munching on a sweet treat?
