Martin Middle School Students, Staff, and Families Finished Strong!

Posted

On March 13th, 2020, all students, teachers, and families were handed the task of sharing education like never before. As distance learning progressed, we all communicated more and worked together through a tough situation. We are proud to announce that during the last month of school, not only did we finish out the school year, but we finished the school year strong. The teachers and staff planned fun virtual events and activities for students and families to keep everyone engaged. Events like Speaker Week featured speakers such as local police officers, local leaders including Mayor DaSilva and even Adam Schefter, NFL Insider from ESPN spent time speaking to Martin students about his career and answered their questions. In Grade 6, car parades were planned by the Grade 6 teachers who organized three separate routes through the various neighborhoods in East Providence. Grade 6 students and families came outside as the parade of teachers and staff drove by our students’ homes with encouraging signs on cars and the sounds of beeping horns. It was an enthusiastic way to encourage and connect with the students and teachers at MMS. Grade 7 and 8 students were given a sendoff as students and families drove through the school property and they were greeted by staff with signs and positive messages. Grade 8 students and families were surprised with an 8th grade lawn sign which was dropped off by teachers throughout the city. The last couple of weeks were filled with award ceremonies, Honor’s Night, National Junior Honor Society, Virtual Field Days, Martin Olympics, and the Virtual Art Festival. During a tough time when we could not physically be in school with our students, our teachers stepped up and found many ways to make sure they know how much we love OUR KIDS at Martin Middle School and Finished Strong!
