Good luck to Codey Cardwell as he travels to Austin for the UIL State Academic Competition! Codey will compete in the Number Sense competition tomorrow morning.

Today the elementary is celebrating their principal, Mrs. Stone. Mart ISD is blessed with two amazing principals in Mrs. Stone and Ms. Wilton. Please show these ladies your appreciation if you see them today or reach out via email. Their jobs are not easy but their love for our students is what sustains our #PANTHERFamily!

Congratulations to Brandon Lundy for placing 1st in state in the 400M Dash with a time of 48:51!!! #gold #BrandonLundyDay #statetrack
If you're planning on watching Mart compete at the state track meet on NFHS please tune in early. All events are on a rolling time schedule to miss the weather and so they could run ahead of schedule. You can find the schedule of events here: https://www.uiltexas.org/files/athletics/state-track-field/2023_2A_TF_Schedule.pdf but we suggest tuning in by 6pm so you don't miss the 400m dash and by 7pm so you don't miss the relay.
Thank you to Mary Mann and TDW for the water and notes for the staff! #PANTHERFamily #TeacherAppreciation
