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


🐾 Special visitor alert! Charli, the Lake Villa Police Department’s comfort dog, stopped by Martin School today! Our students loved meeting her and learning about how she helps support our community. Thank you, LVPD, for sharing Charli’s calm and cuddly energy with us! 💙🐶






We appreciate our awesome health office helper today on the ranch! #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! 💛🙌







What an inspiring LEAD Day at Martin School! 🌟
Students dove into Wilfred Gordon McDonald Partridge, talked about the importance of memories, and created beautiful crafts for the residents at Victory Lakes Memory Care Center.
Next up: our Student Lighthouse Team and OCM Choir will visit the center to deliver the crafts and spread a little music and joy! 🎶💙 2/2

Congratulations to another December Principal Pride winner!!

Thank you to the 8th grade Palombi Choir for coming over to Martin School this week! We LOVED hearing you sing to us and enjoyed singing WITH you too!


Today, our youngest learners gathered for a special assembly to get ready for our upcoming LEAD Day. Members of our amazing Student Lighthouse Team led the way as they introduced students to our community partner, Victory Lakes Memory Care Center.
Our K–2 Mustangs learned how they’ll be spreading kindness, building connections, and practicing leadership habits that make a difference—both in our school and out in the community.
We’re so proud of our student leaders and can’t wait to see all of our Mustangs shine on LEAD Day! 💙🐴
