The Martin Garden Club has been extremely busy!!! They have expanded the garden, added wood chips and compost, planted seeds, built a Farmer’s Market stand, and a bench. Yesterday, with the help of a first grader, they harvested the very first produce.

Our fourth graders had a special surprise today—a Mystery Reader! 🎉 They were so excited to guess who would walk through the door and share a story with them.

There were smiles, lots of guesses, and plenty of reading fun! ❤️📖 Thank you to our Mystery Reader for helping make reading extra special for our students!

🚨 Bus Safety Drill Complete! 🚨

Martin students and staff nailed today's Bus Evacuation Drills! Practice builds calm, confidence, and quick thinking in an emergency.

What students learned: Clear aisles, leave bags behind, exit quickly, and move 10 feet clear of traffic.

How parents can help: Remind kids to listen to their driver, stay seated, and keep noise down so drivers can focus.

We are especially proud of our 5th grade bus helpers who worked with our younger Mustangs!

Big thanks to our drivers and transportation team for keeping our kids safe on every route! 🚌
