As we are nearing the end of our journey, we make a stop over at E.J. Martinez Elementary School to grab some lunch and learn about this storied institution.
E.J. Martinez was the Postmaster of Santa Fe and served as President of the School Board. He was an avid gardener, hiker, and outdoorsman - three hobbies that Santa Fe can provide with unlimited options.
E.J. Martinez Elementary is a member of an amazing program that requires a world-class opera (such as Santa Fe’s) to accomplish. Active Learning Through Opera, or ALTO for short, helps schools by making meaningful connections between an academic topic and an element of opera and demonstrating student understanding of those topics with opera elements through performance and all aspects attached. The process consists of teaching artists to collaborate with classroom teachers in multi-week residencies and students are engaged as composers, librettists, singers, dancers, actors and visual artists. The program is by invitation only, but in addition to hundreds of artist residencies, more than 12,000 children have produced 175 operas, performing to audiences of parents, classmates and friends totaling over 10,000 people.
Other engaging and supporting programs at E.J. Martinez include:
--5th & 6th grade Band
--Community Partnerships
--A very active/supportive PTA
--Girls Inc., which focuses on the empowerment of girls
--Boys and Girls Club
--Kenpo 5.0 (with free bus pick-up from our site)
--Student Council
--21st Century Community Learning Center providing academic enrichment
opportunities during non-school hours.
--Full-day PreK
The fighting “Vikings” show that a complete education in the classroom is only enhanced by extra-curricular activities expanding their minds, talents, and dreams.
