Martin School Family Update

Dear Martin Families and Caregivers,

As you can see from the pictures, Kindergarten children had a fantastic trip to Adam's Farm. They enjoyed playful interactions with various animals, took a tractor ride, walked through a corn field, and more--creating wonderful memories for all involved!

And a BIG Congratulations to Martin School on the Pumpkin Stroll Fundraiser!!! You did it! You EXCEEDED the MSA's goal of $45,000 this year! This not only allows children in grades K-5 to enjoy a range of field trips and educational experiences for FREE, it also means that I will be duct taped to the wall! The duct tape is getting ordered! A duct tape date is coming soon!

Sincerely,

Dr. Jennifer Evans
