Celebrating Our Heroes at Martin Elementary

Today, our school community came together for a memorable Veterans Day celebration. Students in Kindergarten through 5th grade participated in special assemblies honoring the men and women who have served in our armed forces.

We were especially honored to have a guest veteran speak during two separate assemblies—sharing meaningful stories and insights with our K–2 students as well as our 3rd–5th graders.

Thank you to our guest speaker and to all veterans in our community for your service, sacrifice, and dedication!

This Veterans Day, our Hooper Heroes had the privilege of celebrating our local veterans, beginning with a breakfast and a moving performance by the Hooper Choir.

The morning ended with a remarkable full-circle moment: Veteran Albert Griffin who has attended our annual celebration for five years surprised our students with a generous donation to help our Hooper community . His generosity embodies the true spirit of service and the "Hooper Hero Way."

We extend our deepest gratitude to our veterans for their service to our country and their continued investment in the next generation.

In honor of Veterans Day, our Hooper Heroes put gratitude into action by raising and donating $550 to support The Landing Zone.

Our students also had the privilege of hearing from guest speakers representing Veterans Path to Hope, who generously shared their time, wisdom, and personal stories of service. We are deeply grateful to our guests for enriching our school community, and proud of our students for demonstrating the power of giving back.

Student leaders took the mic (or phone) this week to jump-start Red Ribbon Week each day across the Ranch!

Through daily morning announcements, students took the lead in promoting positive, healthy choices.

Thank you for encouraging your child(ren) to participate in our daily spirit dress-up themes and sign the Red Ribbon pledge wall in the main cafeteria during lunch!
