Fourth-graders investigated owl pellets for clues while also discovering various careers in biology. Students learned about orthopedic surgeons, archaeologists, paleontologists, ornithologists and zoologist/wildlife biologists. Students searched through their owl pellets to find out what the owl's diet consisted of whether it was rodent, shrew, mole or bird. They also learned about how the prey of an owl fits into the food chain.





K-3 fundraiser items will be at MST, ready to pick up on Thursday, May 4th. Please make arrangements to pick up your items between 3:30-5:30. If you cannot make it on the 4th, you may also pick up anytime on Friday, May 5th, between 8:300-2:30. Please come to the office. Online order will be shipped to the person's home.

Entergy visited our campus to help teach our students about energy and how we power the world we live in. Students got to see what happens if you touch powerlines, how fast electricity travels, how many volts are in our homes, who to call if you see powerlines down, and so much more. Thank you, Entergy, for teaching our students about electricity and safety!

Check out a few snapshots from our awards assemblies. We have loved celebrating our students and their accomplishments!!!










Sometimes we like to make learning phonics a little more hands-on! Mrs. Gilbert's homeroom got to use all of their senses when they practiced their phonics lessons with shaving cream. Students practiced their skills and had a great time doing it!





Higginbotham Family Dental visited MST to speak with our 4th graders. HFD shared with our students about taking care of their teeth and gums. All fourth-grade students received a toothbrush and toothpaste from the special visitors. HFD also brought a very special guest with them to greet our students. Thank you, Higginbotham Family Dental, for investing in our students!
