Leeton R-X School District

🎉 Introducing Mr. Josh Martley! 🎉

We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Martley to our district as our K-12 music/band teacher!

A proud Holden, Missouri native, Mr. Martley grew up as a dedicated member of the Eagle Pride Marching Band, earning the prestigious John Philip Sousa Award - the top band honor - during his senior year in 2021.

He will soon graduate from the University of Central Missouri, where his passion for music continued to shine through his involvement in the UCM Drumline, Percussion Studio, Wind Ensemble, and Symphonic Band. 🎶

When he’s not making music, Mr. Martley enjoys writing his own compositions, spending time with friends and family, and diving into a good video game. 🎮✨

Please join us in giving Mr. Martley a warm welcome! We’re excited to have him share his talents and enthusiasm with our students and be a part of the bulldog team! 🙌💫

Leeton students paired up with their buddies again this month to focus on our character trait of the month: Responsibility. The responsibility pillar is green, it reminds us to take care of our things and do what we say we will.  Students talked about the responsibilities they have at school and at home, then wrote them down and created a responsibility chain together. The chains will be hung in the cafeteria to remind of all our responsibilities we have.

3rd grade loved the snow so much, they brought it inside! They had a multiplication snowball fight in the classroom. These students are working hard and having fun while mastering their multiplication facts!
