Last night, we celebrated one of the longest-tenured educators to walk the halls of our school district. ✨ Glenn A. Duffy Elementary's 1st-grade teacher - Ms. Margaret Martin ✨ Ms. Martin was hired at 22 years old in 1970 as a first-year teacher (straight out of college from John Brown University). She went on to have a 54-year teaching legacy all within the Gravette School District. Ms. Martin is now 76 years old and has "only known school" for her entire life. We are honored to have been a part of her journey teaching generations of families. Happy retirement, dear friend! 🧡 #oncealionalwaysalion #experiencethelionpride Click here to see Ms. Maritn's news debut: https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/gravette-teacher-retires-after-54-years-on-the-job/
