Panther Talk

Mart Elementary stocked the new Book Nook vending machine this week. This machine was made possible by a donation from Storybook Christmas. Students will be able to buy tokens at the AR store to use in the machine. Tokens will also be given out for random acts of kindness throughout the month of October as part of the campus's kindness initiative.

October is Bullying Prevention Month and both Mart ISD campuses have joined the Random Acts of Kindness Challenge. Stay tuned for news on the various activities planned to spread kindness among our students and staff.

The 1976 State Championship Basketball team will be recognized during halftime of the Homecoming game this year. Make sure to join us October 18th to recognize these exceptional athletes. Kick off is 7pm.

This year's district theme is all about history and the legacy we leave behind. We want to teach our students about Ex-Students and where they are today. We are focusing, as educators, on the impact we have on our students and how we want to be remembered. We will also assist our students in setting goals for themselves and promote not only college and career goals, but also character and integrity expectations. History has its eyes on the Panthers!

Attention Ex-Students! We want to highlight your accomplishments and dreams. Submit your story to betsy.burnett@mymartisd.org.
