💜🤍 Marfa ISD is Grateful 🤍💜 We are incredibly thankful for the continued support and partnership of the Marfa Education Foundation and their unwavering commitment to our students and staff. Their investment in education goes beyond the classroom, and we are especially grateful for their Teacher Reimbursement Scholarships, which are supporting two of our outstanding educators; Mrs. Loya and Ms. Hinojos. 👏 Thank you for believing in our teachers, our students, and the future of Marfa ISD. Together, we are building something special. #MarfaISD #CommunityStrong #TeacherSupport #ShorthornPride

🎙️ Thank You, Marfa Public Radio! 🎙️

Marfa ISD is incredibly grateful to Marfa Public Radio for opening their doors and providing our students with a real-world podcasting experience.

Through access to professional studios and hands-on learning, our students are gaining the skills, confidence, and voice to tell their stories and connect with our community.

Weekly Memo: April 27, 2026 - May 2, 2026

🌱💜 Shorthorns Growing Great Things! 💜🌱 Marfa PTO—THANK YOU so much for providing the soil our 4th graders needed to complete the garden! 🪴👏 Our students worked incredibly hard today, and with your support, we were able to get all four garden beds ready for planting! 🌼🌿 This is what teamwork looks like—students learning, growing, and taking pride in their work. 💪🌎 We are so grateful for your continued support… y’all are the BEST!!! 💜💜💜

🌎💜Shout out to our incredible, Mrs. Cain, for putting together a fantastic field trip full of meaningful learning for our Marfa Elementary students! 🌎💜

After learning about Earth Day and the importance of recycling, reducing, and reusing, our 4th and 5th graders headed to Alpine Recycling Center and Keep Alpine Beautiful, followed by a picnic at the park.

🍃The Recycling Center was AWESOME—offering services for everything from cardboard and paper to electronics and even refrigerators!🍃

Our students also stepped up in a big way, collecting over 100 pounds of trash in just 0.64 miles. What an incredible impact! 🗑️🚮

Thank you, Mrs. Medrano, for safely driving our students and supporting this great experience. 🚌What a great day to be a Shorthorn! 🐮
