Thank you, Aimee Redding, Multilingual Coordinator at LVSD #41, for the great professional development presented to the Mustang staff this afternoon!! #mustangsmakeithappen


Today, we welcomed back a former Martin Mustang who returned as our mystery reader! 🐴💙
It was such a heartwarming moment to see one of our former students giving back, sharing their love of reading, and inspiring our current Mustangs. The students were thrilled—and the smiles said it all! 😊
Once a Mustang, always a Mustang! 💛💙

Today, one of our former Hooper students, Gabriel, who now attends Lakes High School, came back to visit Mrs. Greig's, Ms. Staver's and Ms. Bertram's class to give a presentation about saving the environment. He did an amazing job, and we were SO proud to see how much he has accomplished and what a successful and driven young man he has become, demonstrating true Leader in Me potential!

Our 5th graders were hard at work in the library today, teaming up to review their WIG (Wildly Important Goals) binders. We loved seeing students support one another, track their progress, and stay focused on the goals they’re excited to achieve. Proud of their leadership and teamwork! 💙📚💡#leaderinme #mustangsmakeithappen
