Martin School Family Update

Dear Martin Families and Caregivers,

We hope you had a wonderful April vacation with your family! We now have only 7 more weeks left of school! Time flies!

Thank you to all of those who purchased Double Good Popcorn to help the MSA's Playground Committee raise money for an ADA play structure. Due to your generosity, the school raised $2000 in 4 days! Thank you so much! We hope you loved each flavored morsel!

In other AMAZING playground news, thanks to the efforts of so many, especially Representative Adam Scanlon, the Governor will be signing a $50,000 reimbursement to assist with the cost of an ADA play structure at Martin School! We are on our way to realizing this incredible addition to Martin and the town of North Attleborough! Thank you to all those who have supported this incredible project!

Sincerely,

Dr. Jennifer Evans

Tally sheets for the Reading Rocks program are due on Tuesday, April 30! Top classes in K-1, 2-3, and 4-5 will win $50 for classroom purchases thanks to the generosity of George Family Orthodontics! They also provide a donation to our school library. Mrs. Doucette has been working hard behind the scenes to make sure all students have minutes to contribute to this program. Thank you, Mrs. Doucette!

The MSA Playground Committee has organized a brick fundraiser to raise funds for an ADA playstructure to be added to Martin School. The picture above is a facsimile of the project.

To get a brick engraved for your children, your family, graduating 5th grader, or in honor or memory of a loved one, go to this website: https://www.bricksrus.com/donorsite/msaplayground The cost is $50 per brick. Feel free to buy more than one!
