Service in action! ⭐ Our 5th-grade students volunteered at Feed My Starving Children, working together to pack meals for those in need. This experience was a powerful reminder that even small hands can make a big global impact.

Today, we welcomed back a former Martin Mustang who returned as our mystery reader! 🐴💙

It was such a heartwarming moment to see one of our former students giving back, sharing their love of reading, and inspiring our current Mustangs. The students were thrilled—and the smiles said it all! 😊

Once a Mustang, always a Mustang! 💛💙

Our 5th graders were hard at work in the library today, teaming up to review their WIG (Wildly Important Goals) binders. We loved seeing students support one another, track their progress, and stay focused on the goals they’re excited to achieve. Proud of their leadership and teamwork! 💙📚💡#leaderinme #mustangsmakeithappen

What an inspiring LEAD Day at Martin School! 🌟
Students dove into Wilfred Gordon McDonald Partridge, talked about the importance of memories, and created beautiful crafts for the residents at Victory Lakes Memory Care Center.
Next up: our Student Lighthouse Team and OCM Choir will visit the center to deliver the crafts and spread a little music and joy! 🎶💙 2/2
