In Mrs. Adam's Geometry classes, they have been studying triangles and have learned that a triangle is the sturdiest shape. With this knowledge, students built truss bridges out of craft sticks and hot glue. Yesterday, they tested their bridges to see how much weight/pressure each bridge could withstand. Mr. Cauthen lent us a fish weight and Mr. McDonald helped use his strength to test each bridge! The sturdiest bridge held up to 51 pounds of pressure before cracking, while the smallest weight held was 18 pounds of pressure!

Ms. Miller's 8th graders learned how to write strong concluding lines for their expository essays.
Students took a paper with the ending lines of stories or books and matched them to the introductory lines they connect to. We then analyzed the strategies good authors use to create writing magic and practiced writing our own.

Martinsville ISD has been closely monitoring weather and road conditions throughout the day.

While some improvement has been observed, there are still areas with ice on roadways and bridges. These areas are expected to refreeze overnight, creating hazardous travel conditions for Tuesday morning.

Based on this assessment and with safety as our top priority, Martinsville ISD will be closed on Tuesday, January 27.

At this time, we anticipate returning to a regular schedule on Wednesday, January 28, pending further evaluation of conditions.
Please stay warm and safe Pirates.

Thank you,
Will Cauthen
Martinsville ISD Superintendent

Martinsville ISD will be closed Monday, January 26th after a countywide declaration of disaster and consideration of the potential for hazardous conditions.

Please stay warm and safe.

🏀 Congratulations to the Texas Farm Bureau Insurance Players of the Week for Martinsville High School: Ryder Dillard & Chelby Williams! 🏀 ⭐ Ryder, a senior forward, brings toughness, effort, and consistency every time he steps on the floor. He averaged 5.5 points and 10 rebounds per game, but his impact goes far beyond the stat sheet. Ryder does the dirty work—battling in the paint, crashing the boards, and creating extra possessions for his team. His work ethic, leadership, and unselfish play set the tone for Martinsville basketball. Off the court, Ryder continues to excel in the classroom and represents his program the right way. ⭐ Chelby, a starting post, has been the rock of this team all season. Her constant energy, toughness, and determination are contagious and help drive her teammates every game. She leads by example, plays with heart, and brings an intensity that makes everyone around her better. 👏 Congratulations to Ryder and Chelby on a well-deserved Player of the Week honor! Keep up the great work! These awards were presented by agent Jody Brown Engle.

Martinsville ISD is closely monitoring the weather and has been in communication with local officials and emergency management agencies to stay informed and prepared. Student and staff safety remains our priority. Any closure announcements will be shared on Sunday through our communication channels.
