Thank you to everyone who came out to support our students' passion for discovery!

Our 2nd graders are officially "booked" for the week! 📚✨

Hooper Elementary had a fantastic field trip to the Lake Villa District Library. Our students got an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at how our neighborhood library works—from how books are sorted to where the magic happens behind the front desk.

We are so lucky to have such an amazing resource right in our backyard! A big thank you to the librarians for hosting our curious explorers.

Mrs. Coffaro's 2nd grade class released butterflies today! #LEARN #itsathompsontigerthing

Butterfly release day in second grade! #itsathompsontigerthing

Martin School students proudly shared their gratitude through artwork, decorations, and handwritten letters that beautifully adorned Foss Park Golf Course as Veterans embarked on their May 1st–3rd journey with Lake County Honor Flight #30 to Washington, D.C.

From colorful drawings to touching messages, our students helped create a truly meaningful and memorable send-off. Surrounded by family, friends, and community members, it was a powerful moment of appreciation for those who have served our country.

Thank you, Martin Mustangs, for showing such kindness and respect—and thank you to our Veterans for your service!
