Hey Panther Families! Our theme this year is "It takes a village to raise a Panther" and we want to highlight a huge part of our students' village - their families. The details on what we need to feature your family are in the image attached. We look forward to getting to know you!
Mart ISD is exploring options in partnering with an after school program provider in the area.
The program would run Monday - Friday from after school until 6pm each day that school is in session.
The cost would be around $30 - $50 a week per kid.
Please indicate whether this is a service you would want below.
We would like to have all responses by the end of next week (August 12th).
