Ms. Marla Martin
Hello rising third graders and parents! It is with pleasure that I welcome you to my class! I studied Elementary Education at Campbell University where I earned my master’s degree. I also have a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design from the University of Cincinnati. I found my home at Vandora Springs Elementary School in 2003 and have taught both second and third grade. I believe that a positive learning experience is built on a cooperative effort between home and school and I look forward to working with you this year to set challenging goals for your child while providing the support needed for success. I will keep you informed of your child’s progress this year and I hope you will contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting you soon and to an exciting school year!
