Greetings,
It is hard to believe that we are already in June — what a year it has been for our Beverly J. Martin community. Throughout the year, our scholars and staff have demonstrated Tiger Pride in so many meaningful ways. From engaging field trip experiences, to the Tiger scholar-staff basketball game, to the many scholar-centered clubs facilitated by staff, our community has experienced moments of joy, connection, and belonging.
In addition to celebrating our community, we have also continued the important work of strengthening our School Comprehensive Education Plan. As we look ahead, we are excited to further define and develop high-quality instructional practices and continue striving to meet that mark every single day for the remainder of this school year and as we prepare for the 2026–2027 academic year.
Thank you for your continued partnership, support, and commitment to our scholars and school community.
Tiger Strong!
To Our 5th Grade Families…
As we prepare to celebrate the close of another school year and the transition to middle school, we want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for being such an important part of our school community. Thank you for trusting us with your scholars, partnering with us throughout the years, and sharing your families with us. It has truly been a privilege to be part of your child’s educational journey.
Watching our 5th graders grow academically, socially, and emotionally has been a joy. They have brought laughter, energy, creativity, leadership, and heart to our building, and our community is better because of them.
As your scholars continue their educational and life journey, we wish them nothing but success, happiness, growth, and endless possibility. While they may be moving on to a new chapter, they will always be a part of our family and will always be Tigers.
Thank you again for your support, partnership, and the many ways you have contributed to our community over the years. We are proud of all our scholars have accomplished and cannot wait to see all the incredible things they will continue to do. Wishing you and your families all the best in the years ahead.
A Special Thank You to Our PTA…
Our PTA is truly the heart and soul of our community. Through your unwavering dedication, generosity, and partnership, you help create meaningful experiences and opportunities for our scholars and families each and every year.
From providing enriching programming and memorable experiences for scholars, to organizing family engagement events that bring joy, connection, and celebration to our school community, the impact of our PTA is felt throughout every corner of our building.
This year PTA continued to create spaces where families could come together to learn, collaborate, support one another, and strengthen the sense of belonging that makes our community so special. Your commitment to uplifting scholars, staff, and families helps foster a school environment rooted in care, connection, and partnership.
We are deeply grateful for all that our PTA does to support our community. Thank you for your time, energy, advocacy, and love for our scholars, families and staff. Your impact is immeasurable.
