Friday Focus “The harder you work, the luckier you get!” – Gary Player

At Martin Middle School whether you are working in the kitchen, office, classroom, custodial crew, band, gym, cafeteria, library, houses, inside or outside the school…you WORK HARD! We work very hard and because of that we are extremely lucky. We are lucky to work with such great people and most importantly we are LUCKY to have some of the BEST KIDS and FAMILIES around. Personally, I feel extremely LUCKY to have so many people in one place who do what is best for kids. At Martin Middle School, the sense of teamwork and pride is strong. We all have good times and bad, however, we know we can count on each other for so many things and for this we are very LUCKY. Thank you for all that you do! We know it’s not about luck, but it is about making every decision and action in the BEST INTEREST of OUR KIDS to make sure they have what they need to be successful!
The last few weeks have been amazing! I was able to get into a ton of rooms see great things happening. I was able to see some awesome focused lessons and small group instruction. Also, I was able to have some great conversations with our staff. After school, I saw our teachers learning more in PD Sessions. As well as, teachers were planning their lessons together while others were coaching OUR KIDS in sports. Trust me, we have a lot of work to do and we know the work never stops, but I hope you know that it is the most important work we can do. I know you work hard and I know that I’m lucky to be working alongside of you! OUR KIDS are lucky to have you, keep bringing it each day!
