Panther Talk

Over $500 was donated to Baylor Scott & White McClinton Cancer Center in Waco after the Pink Out shirt sales this year. October is breast cancer awareness month.

Both campuses kicked off Bullying Prevention Month this week by celebrating kindness. A video was shown to tell students more about Bullying Prevention Month and ways to make a difference at our school. Acts of kindness are being documented and rewarded with prize drawings.

October is Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Month in Texas. As little as two grains of fentanyl can kill you. This deadly drug has been found in all 50 states and is being marketed as prescription pills. The video found at the following link is a PSA from the Governor's Office regarding fentanyl. download the PSA video at this link.

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.
