Mullen Public Schools

After watching a video about how butter is made, First Grade decided to try it themselves. Each group filled a mason jar halfway with heavy whipping cream and got to work shaking. It didn’t take long before they noticed the cream getting thicker. With a lot of teamwork and persistence, it finally separated into butter and buttermilk! The best part? They got to taste their homemade butter on a roll and even took some home to share. Such a fun, and delicious, way to learn!

The 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are all busy working to finish their science fair trifolds. The middle school science fair is in 7 days!

Bridgeport Golf Meet

Location: Courthouse and Jail Rock Golf Course

Today our preschool classroom had a very special visitor—a lifeguard! 🛟🌊

We learned all about water safety, how lifeguards help keep people safe, and all the fun we can have around water. The kids loved receiving their very own water safety cards and asking so many great questions. They're ready to adventure outdoors now!

A big thank you to Mellissa Donohoe for taking the time to teach our little learners such important skills in a fun and engaging way. 💙

There's something for everyone at the carnival! We will have funnel cake, a cake walk, and games for all ages. Tickets are still 25 cents for games with instant prizes and 50 cents for games to win tickets to redeem at the prize table.

Our 2nd and 3rd graders had a blast at a science fair hosted by Mrs. Hardin and her Chemistry II students!

Students watched exciting experiments such as flaming gummy bears, an egg in a bottle, and a crushed can demonstrating atmospheric pressure. One of the highlights was turning orange juice into strawberry fizz. They even got to make their own bouncy balls!

Thank you to Mrs. Hardin and her students for creating such a fun and engaging learning experience!

Hands-on learning at its best! 🎣 The senior students in Standards Science wrapped up an exciting project, taking home the fishing poles they built themselves through the Mud Hole Education program. From start to finish, students learned the process of building a functional fishing rod while applying real-world science skills. This hands-on experience encourages problem-solving, craftsmanship, and pride in creating something of their own, while also inspiring time outdoors and a potential lifelong love of fishing. Thanks to the generous support of donors to our science department, each student was able to take their finished rod home at no cost.💙

This week's recipient of the Smiles and Stems bouquet was Ms. CeCe Coons. The flowers were grown by the botany students in the greenhouse. We hope they made her day a little brighter!

The next regular meeting of the Mullen Board of Education will be Monday, April 13, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. in the high school library.
