🎙️ 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.

💜 This partnership is helping launch the next generation of Shorthorn storytellers—and we couldn’t be more proud.

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! 🐮
