Breakfast Buddies is growing! 🏀🥞

This year, AHES is welcoming members of the Patrick & Henry Community College basketball team to their school on Friday mornings to share breakfast, help with morning work, and build connections with our young Wildcats!

There's something so special about having a positive role model show up just to spend time with you, and we're grateful to these Patriot student-athletes for giving our students another reason to look forward to coming to school on Friday mornings!

🏈 Friday night memories, more than 50 years in the making.

In fall 1971, the lights came on at Dan Greene Memorial Stadium for the very first time.

The 1972 Mavahi yearbook called the opening game against Bassett “a highlight of the season,” with a capacity crowd there to watch the Bulldogs take the field in their brand-new stadium.

And what an opening night it was! Martinsville defeated Bassett 22-7, with touchdowns from Dwain Belcher, Mike Swartz, and Anthony Hairston. The defense intercepted five passes and recorded a safety.

That night was the beginning of a Martinsville tradition.

For more than five decades, generations of students, athletes, coaches, band members, cheerleaders, families, alumni, and fans have gathered under the lights of Dan Greene Memorial Stadium on Friday nights. The names and faces have changed, but this field has remained a place where our community comes together. 🐾

Now, as Martinsville High School competes in T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G Lights, we have an opportunity to help write the next chapter of that story.

📣 Mavahi alumni, we want to hear from you: What’s YOUR favorite memory from Dan Greene Memorial Stadium? Make a post to let us know!

And help us show T-Mobile just how much our history, pride, and progress mean to our community. Every post makes a difference!

From that first capacity crowd in 1971 to the Bulldogs taking the field today, you already know Friday nights in Martinsville are something special. Let's show the rest of the world, too.

If you know anything about PHES, you know they take their dodgeball seriously, so of course their first behavior celebration of the year was a dodgeball tournament of epic proportions!

Students competed alongside their housemates, with the winning team in each bracket earning the ultimate prize: a chance to take on the teachers. But our 3rd–5th grade teams had a secret weapon up their sleeves: their Breakfast Buddies from Patrick & Henry Community College's baseball team!

To earn a spot in the tournament, students simply needed to maintain 80% or better on their behavior tracker and have no suspensions — a well-deserved reward for making great choices.

Celebrations like this do more than just reward good behavior. They build a culture of positivity, strengthen bonds between students and teachers, and remind everyone that school is a fun place to be!

Meet Deja Taylor, a proud Martinsville graduate who's back and making a difference right here at MCPS!

A member of the Mavahi Class of 2012, Deja chose to return to MCPS "because this community helped shape who I am today. The teachers, staff, and support systems I experienced growing up played a major role in my success, and becoming a school nurse here allows me to give back to the same environment that supported me. I understand the district's culture, values, and the unique needs of its students because I once walked these same halls."

"Working here feels meaningful on a deeper level," Deja said. "Not only am I serving children and families, but I’m also contributing to the well-being of the very community that raised me. I hope to be a familiar, trustworthy presence for students, and my goal is to ensure they feel seen, supported, and cared for. Returning home is more than a career decision for me; it’s a commitment to making a positive impact where it matters most."

🐾 Favorite MCPS memory: "One of my favorite memories is being a basketball cheerleader and cheering at the games."

🍎 Most influential teacher: Cheryl Fulton

🙌 Why MCPS? "This is truly a place where people matter. The environment is supportive, collaborative, and centered around doing what’s best for students and staff. Whether you’re new to education or continuing your career, you feel valued and welcomed from day one. The division invests not just in student success, but also in employee growth—offering mentorship, professional development, and a strong sense of community. You’re never working alone; there’s always someone willing to help, encourage, or guide you."

We're so proud to have Deja back with us at MCPS, helping to make sure new generations of Bulldogs feel seen, supported, and cared for!

Since 1971, the football field at Martinsville High School has been the backdrop for generations of those memories.

It was a thrilling night in the Dawg House, ending with TWO Bulldog victories! 🏐🐾

Our JV and varsity volleyball squads put on impressive displays of athleticism, grit, and teamwork as they battled their way to back-to-back wins over GW!

Our JV squad, made up ENTIRELY of 8th graders, came out on top after two nail-biting sets. On the varsity side, GW mounted an impressive comeback in the third set, tying the score multiple times, but our Bulldogs dug deep and finished strong for the win. 💪

But as exciting as those victories were, something else impressed us even more.

No matter the score, these Bulldogs never stopped smiling, encouraging one another, and celebrating each other. The bonds and trust these teams have built were on full display, along with the joy they share in getting to compete together.

Great games, Bulldogs! Let’s carry that spirit, teamwork, and momentum all season long! ❤️🏐
