Martin School Family Update
January 26, 2024
Dear Martin Families and Caregivers,
I want to express my gratitude to all those whose outreach and support were unwavering during this challenging time for our school. So many expressed their vantage points with kindness and respect. We appreciate your voice. Through these uncharted waters, the partnership between our school district and the community shines, reflecting a shared commitment to the well-being of our children and families. Together, we continue to navigate challenges and grow stronger. Thank you for all that you do for your children and our school.

Is getting your child to wear a coat a challenge? Let us know! We’re happy to support you and work with your child to make this happen.
Help 5th Graders Raise Money to Help Kids in South Sudan!
Fifth grade students are on a mission to help kids in South Sudan gain easy access to clean water! After reading the book, A Long Walk to Water, which shares the true story of Salva, a young boy who walks from Sudan to Ethiopia to find refuge from his war torn homeland, and Nya, a fictional young girl who spends each morning and afternoon walking to get water for her family. Fifth grade students were inspired to join Salva's journey to provide wells to as many people in South Sudan as he can. We've joined the Iron Giraffe Challenge and hope that each student at Martin can donate at least $3 to this worthy cause!
Donations will be collected until February 2. Cash donations may be brought to school. Electronic donations may be made online at: http://secure.waterforsouthsudan.org/goto/NorthMartin .
The 5th graders of Martin thank you for helping!
