It’s been an absolute honor to serve as principal at Mars Estates the past eight years. I’ve learned and grown so much from this incredible community. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to lead in such an incredible school. My #marsstars will forever be in my heart!

Two more firsties were acknowledged with the Principal Award. This time it was during Ms. Magness’ ELA class. They worked diligently, used strategies to decode words, and were so on task! #marsstars #winning #CelebrateSuccess

Students in Ms. Massaker’s class showed commitment to learning and peacefulness during ELA! What a wonderful day in third! #marsstars #CelebrateSuccess

Mrs. Reichert and her math scholars are off to an amazing start this year! Hands on learning, rich discussion, and every student highly engaged makes for an amazing math class! We are proud of this group and their teacher! #marsstars #advancedmath #mathisfun

Our teachers are always in for reflecting, learning, and growing! We appreciate the honest discussion and thoughtful planning to include problem solving, virtue language, peaceful days, and zones of regulation. Our tier one supports are strong! #marsstars #facultymeeting

Spotted: Mrs. Simon, Ms. Katz, and a happy little Kindergartner practicing writing. This was a picture perfect moment during dismissal today! #lovethisteam #marsstars

Our pre-k friends are so on point! Check them out as they transition from our bus evacuation drill back to Phys Ed with @Izner79. They sure know how to show peacefulness and responsibility! #marsstars

It was a joy to spend time in the art studio today! Students worked with charcoal to create a value scale from light to dark. They helped each other, actively participated, and were so peaceful! What a great Tuesday in art! #marsstars

Virtue Vouchers and positive office referrals for the win! I’m proud of these leaders! #marsstars #leaders #virtues @MissKazin @kestreett

I love when teachers call on the walkie for an academic celebration! Mathematicians in @megh_erdman’s class did such an awesome job explaining their thinking and describing how they solved problems! #marsstars #proudprincipal

Spotted: focused scholars in Ms. Herche’s group. Way to go firsties! #marsstars

Students in Ms. Gardner’s class were focused readers as they worked with Amira today! #marsstars
