What an exciting day at Mart Elementary! The GT Grand Prix was a tremendous success, allowing our students to create and race their very own pinewood derby cars. They explored concepts like friction, weight distribution, and aerodynamics while expressing their creativity! This event was not just about competition; it promoted craftsmanship and good sportsmanship among our young racers. Thank you to Mrs. Kaufmann and all the volunteers who helped make this event successful! Check out the pictures of our participants and winners below!

Attention Mart ISD Parents! Tonight, temperatures are expected to drop below freezing. While we don't anticipate any wintry precipitation (according to our latest update), there is a risk of residual moisture freezing on the roadways, leading to black ice. As mentioned before, Texas weather can change instantly, so please be prepared for all scenarios. We will be checking and driving our roads at 4:00 am in the morning. We are committed to keeping our staff and students safe and will notify you if conditions are unsafe. All updates will be posted to our MISD Website, Facebook, and sent digitally through email and text. Mart Administration

This week, Mrs. Aynesworth led our fourth graders in a special etiquette lesson. Today, they applied what they learned by dining at the Chicken Place in Marlin for their Valentine's luncheon. This experience not only promoted social skills but also emphasized the value of respect and good manners in our young Panthers. Mart Elementary is proud of our fourth graders for showing such great manners!

Mart ISD is committed to safeguarding our students' health during flu season! As part of our proactive measures to mitigate the spread of flu and related illnesses, all campuses have increased handwashing and sanitizing efforts. Our custodial staff is diligently wiping down surfaces between classes, and we have invested in new electrostatic disinfecting sprayers for end-of-day cleaning and on school buses. We kindly ask for parental support: -Keep students with fever home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without medication. -Those with vomiting or diarrhea should stay home until symptom-free for 24 hours. -Students with contagious infections should remain at home until treated with medication for 24 hours or until cleared by a doctor. Check out the picture of Mrs. Beard fighting the flu with our new sprayer! For more info on the sprayers, visit: https://www.victoryinnovations.gr/?lang=en Let’s work together to keep our students healthy, and have a great weekend! Mart Administration
