Congratulations to Senior Armando Chavez! Last week he became the Texas all-time leader for career extra points, which now stands at 341. Armando is only 10 away from breaking the National all-time record, which is 350 set in 2003.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to Food for Families! The grade level winners were 3rd grade at the elementary and 11th grade at the high school. In all, Mart ISD donated 1,211 pounds of food to help local families in need.

We appreciate our SAG students for organizing and delivering the food bright and early. They did a great job representing Mart ISD.
