The Martin Memo

This week, we celebrated our amazing school counselor, Mrs. Williams, who pours her heart and soul into Martin. She is a strong advocate and support for our students and staff and we are so blessed to have her at Martin. Want to give Mrs. Williams a shout out? Click here!

On February 13, classes will have a VALENTINE'S EXCHANGE.

Students are welcome to bring Valentine's cards for their classmates. PTA room moms will be arranging a treat for each student. This is not a designated party day and therefore parents will not be able to attend.

We hope your student has been having fun and learning lots of new things about helping their hearts and helping others! You're doing our community a HUGE favor by helping to bring the awareness to heart disease, stroke, and CPR. The awareness leads to funding, and the funding leads to hope to ANYONE with a heart!

Can you help us by: thinking of 10 family or friends who love to help and send them a message through your KHC page or app!?

TELPAS, the required testing for ESL students will be on:
