Thank you to our special guest for sharing the joy of reading and helping inspire a love of books in our youngest learners.

A 3rd grader enjoyed visiting a kindergarten classroom to read aloud to our youngest learners. This special opportunity allowed the student to practice fluency and expression while serving as a positive role model. Our kindergarten students loved the story! We are proud of the way our students support and learn from one another!

Fourth-grade students and Mrs. Sylvester’s class recently had the exciting opportunity to meet an award-winning author! During her visit, she shared her personal journey, what inspired her to write her first book, and how everyday experiences can become powerful stories!!

Students learned that writing can start with something as simple as journaling their thoughts and experiences. They also put their creativity to work by collaborating to develop the beginning and ending of their own stories. It was an inspiring experience that encouraged our young writers to find their voices and see themselves as authors in the making!

April is the perfect time to get moving, enjoy the fresh air, and build healthy habits! Throughout the month, our students will be encouraged to stay active through fun activities, movement breaks, outdoor learning, and opportunities to challenge themselves physically and mentally.

Whether it's taking extra steps at recess, participating in classroom brain breaks, or enjoying after-school activities, every bit of movement counts! 💪🏃‍♂️

📚✨ Martin School’s Title I Family Night was a wonderful success with a great turnout of families, thanks to the incredible planning and dedication of our amazing staff!

We were also especially proud to have Martin alumni return to volunteer and give back to the school community that helped shape them. Seeing former students supporting the next generation of learners is a powerful reminder that once you are part of the Martin family, you are always part of it. 💙

Thank you to everyone who helped make the evening such a meaningful event for our students and families! #MartinSchoolPride #FamilyEngagement #OnceAMartinLeaderAlwaysAMartinLeader #Mustangsmakeithappen
