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! 💛💙

An incredible concert put on by our fourth graders tonight! Kudos Mr. Power! Incredible preparation for tonight's concert!










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

The Student Lighthouse is raising money to donate to the Lake Villa and Avon Food Pantries. In order for the fundraiser to be successful, we kindly ask for at least a $1 donation per Candy Cane, but you are welcome to donate the amount of your choice. Students will be able to purchase Candy Canes from Student Lighthouse each afternoon. Student Lighthouse thanks you for your support!

Snapshots from Friday's pre–Leader in Me Action Team meeting! Staff wore paper plates on their backs and collected anonymous compliments from colleagues—such a fun way to spread positivity and celebrate each other! 💛🙌
