Spotlight on our teachers! Introducing Izamarie Martinez.
My name is Izamarie Martinez, and I teach 2nd grade at MNE. This is my fourth year teaching, and I am grateful to be able to work alongside the MNE staff to help students grow and flourish during their early years of life.
Growing up, I have always had a passion for education. However, I didn't know what my calling truly was until I taught a Kindergarten class through Junior Achievement. Through my teaching, I focus on delivering healthy cultures of learning in which students are inspired and confident in their abilities. I believe that if children can establish a strong foundation in their learning at an early age, they are better equipped for the future.
Outside of the classroom, I have been happily married for almost an entire year. I love spending quality time with my spouse and my beloved dogs. I love to explore new destinations and cultures along with being able to try new foods. In everything I do, I strive to be an avid learner, constantly seeking new knowledge and experiences to bring back to both personal and professional endeavors.
Reminder about the Meigs North car rider line. 1. It starts at 3:00. Getting there early creates traffic and safety issues. 2. There are only 2 lanes, not 3. If you check a student out late in the day, please park in the lower lot and walk to the office. Otherwise, you may get stuck in traffic. Thanks. JJ

I love spending my free time swimming and with my kitty cats!
