Martin School Family Update
March 16, 2024 (The Saturday Edition)
Community Reader Day!
Dear Martin Families and Caregivers,
What an incredible week we had at our school! From the Book Fair to spirit days, bake sales, and guest readers, students had so much to be excited about! We even had 2 Miss Massachusetts winners in house!! What a magical place Martin is!
All of this magic would not be possible without the help of so many! Special thanks go out to the following people:
- Thank you to Erin Ward, our strong MSA team, and to all of our volunteers (parents, staff, and NAHS students) who gave their time to make this week's Book Fair week and night possible. You did it!!
- Thank you to Stacey Haven and our Student Council for organizing our community readers and bake sale! Your kindness and commitment to making Martin a better place is admirable!
- Thank you to all of the Martin families who baked goods--some well into the night--to help raise money for our ADA play structure. You are all amazing and your efforts so worth it!
- Last, but not least, thank you to all of our community members for volunteering to be guest readers. You brought in such amazing energy into the building! Thank you for joining in our Community Day event and making our Friday sparkle!
To all those mentioned, and more, thank you for working as a village to make Martin School the best home away from home for Martin students. Greatness is always the result of many hands and minds. Thank you for all of your hard work and collaboration!
Have a wonderful weekend! Looking forward to seeing you during parent teacher conferences!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to those who celebrate!
