Cheerleading Tryouts
We are proud to announce Morehead City Middle School’s winners of the Stock Market Game. Eddie Sydnor and Griff Lupton earned third place for the school competition. Levi Bowers, Luke Davis-Christ, Anderson Albaugh, Cutter Chisenhall took second place at MCMS and 8th place in the region. Jed Griggs, Alex Cottrell, Noah Crawford won first place in both the school and region competitions. In addition to winning first place regionally, Jed, Alex, and Noah finished 8th in the state behind seven high schools, thus they are the number one middle school team in the state. Well done gentlemen!
We had an incredible visit from author Scott Reintgen at our school! He shared so honestly about the writing process, especially the challenges, setbacks, and failures that are part of the journey, and reminded our students not to give up on their goals.
Scott also talked about taking a leap of faith, leaving his dream job of teaching to pursue his dream of writing. His story was both inspiring and motivating for our students and staff alike.
Thank you, Scott, for your time, your honesty, and for encouraging our students to keep pushing forward.
It was also a pleasure to experience this with 8th graders from Beaufort Middle School!

Important Message Regarding Bus Transportation:
Unfortunately we no longer have a driver for our 288 afternoon bus route. We have been working closely with our district’s transportation department to explore every possible option for a permanent driver for Bus 288. Despite these joint efforts to secure a dedicated replacement, at this time we must move forward with a new routing plan to ensure our students have consistent and reliable transportation home each afternoon.
To make this possible, we are rerouting Bus 288 students onto Bus 250 and Bus 279. We are also incredibly grateful to our partners at the elementary school, who have stepped up to help transport some of our 288 students.
Important Details:
Morning routes remain the same.
Afternoon drop-off times may vary for the first few days for all bus students as we settle into this new routine.
Letters home: All Bus 288 students will bring home a letter today or tomorrow with their new assigned bus number and estimated drop-off time.
New routes will begin Monday afternoon. We truly appreciate your patience and support as we work together to get our students home safely. If you have specific concerns, please reach out to Mrs. Harrell.
Our Exceptional Children have started a weekly coffee cart for our teachers. Students are provided with a list of coffee, tea and hot chocolate orders. They have to prepare the orders based on the teacher's selections which include extras such as sugar, sweet and low, and a variety of creamers. Once the drink is made, our students deliver the order to each individual teacher's classroom with a homemade thank you note.
In an effort to keep the coffee cart rolling, Ms. Pitman has created a Donors Choose Project. Click the link to learn more and please share with others.

In September, we celebrated our amazing 8th Grade Students of the Month who demonstrated the character traits of being kind, curious, trustworthy, and compassionate. These qualities shine bright in our school community, and we are so proud of our honorees!
To make their recognition extra special, we were able to provide gift bags filled with treats and surprises thanks to the generosity of local businesses. We would like to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to El's Drive-In, Chick-fil-A, The New and Used Bookstore, Lost Treasure, and Mac Daddy’s for their donations.
Your support allows us to recognize our students in a meaningful way and reminds them that their efforts and character are valued not only at school but also in the wider community. 💙❤️🤍
Together, we are building a culture that celebrates kindness, curiosity, trustworthiness, and compassion—one student at a time!
Congratulations Norma and Kevin!
