Manteo Middle sent a team of 10 to Elizabeth City State University to participate in a math competition on Thursday, March 27th. The team placed 1st and several individuals were recognized for outstanding scores. Wesley Mitchum, Sydney Childress and Elanor Carroll all are now eligible for states. Congratulations!
Students spent most of this week taking the 3rd quarter benchmarks. These county wide tests are designed to help students, teachers and parents where the students' strengths and weaknesses are so that more meaningful instruction can be planned. The tests went very smoothly. Please be on the look out for tutoring opportunities that will be offered.
The 8th grade CSI club extracted DNA when they meant this week. The group lead by Mrs. Luciano were very surprised when they were able to see the strand of DNA emerge from the solution.
Several classes from Manteo Middle School went to Manteo High School on Friday to see SHREK. The play was amazing, one of the best yet. We would encourage everyone to take time this weekend to go to Manteo High to see this outstanding show. 
Next week will be an important one as MMS shows off their talent. The annual talent show will be on March 31st at 7:00. Students will be sharing talents such as dancing, singing, and playing instruments. Please come join us for this event. 
We will also highlight our AIG students by hosting the 1st annual AIG fair on April 1st at 6:30. Student work will be displayed and shared at 6:30.
