Eleven Early County Middle School students attended the Georgia State Junior Beta Convention in Savannah, GA. Students represented ECMS in several academic and artistic competitions, including Apparel Design, Engineering, Performing Arts, Quiz Bowl Oral Rounds, and Speech. Our ECMS performing arts competitor was recognized as a Premier Performer and invited to perform at The National Junior Beta Convention in Nashville, TN, this summer. Our Quiz Bowl team also received an invitation to National Convention by placing 5th in the Oral Rounds competition. Students were able to tour historic Savannah and see firsthand many of the sites they are learning about in Georgia Studies.

Congratulations to our CMST Science Fair winners! These students worked incredibly hard to plan their experiments, create their display board, and present their findings to our judges.

Another Industry and Education Partnership was started in December between Martin Environmental and Dothan Tech’s Welding program.

They provided two two-yard dumpsters that need the bottoms repaired. Mr. Kingry, our Welding instructor, will teach the students how to cut the bottoms out with the acetylene torch, grind the side-wall for the new weld lines, and weld back the new round bottom pieces.

This partnership creates opportunities for students to work on real-world problems and help out a local business put their equipment back into operation.

Thank you to Jim Martin for your support and giving our students a chance to learn these skills!

They were so creative in creating their instruments and each one was very unique!
