Mustang Families,

 

 

Welcome to 2025 and our first Mustang News of the year! We hope that you had a restful winter break and, for those who traveled, made it to and from your destinations safely. We look forward to seeing each of you tomorrow morning.

 

 

Thank You: The Martin staff would like to thank all the families who donated desserts for us to enjoy prior to break. Each person was able to select from a wide assortment of wonderful treats to share with their family or eat before they made it home!

 

 

Missing Work: All missing work for the 2nd quarter is due on Wednesday to allow teachers time to evaluate and record prior to the end of the quarter, which is January 17th. Students, please check Canvas, PowerSchool and with your teachers about what needs to be completed.
