History Spotlight
Students, It's Your Turn!
Our theme this school year is “History Has Its Eyes On Us” and contemplates what history will say about each of us. The first part of the year we focused on profiles submitted by ex-students. Now, we would love to focus on our current students and their future plans. We will share these student profiles on the Mart ISD website, social media platforms, and broadcast them on district computers and TVs. If your child would like to participate, please complete the following permission slip and profile sheet and return them to your student’s homeroom (elementary) or leadership (high school) teacher. Paper copies will be sent home with students next week. Feel free to contact me with any questions at betsy.burnett@mymartisd.org.
