2008 Division Leadership Achievement Award, Mari Lu Martens
Mari Lu Martens was nominated for the Southwest MESPA Division Leadership Achievement Award because her colleagues state she has distinguished herself as an elementary principal with her strong advocacy for children and public education.

According to Scott Loeslie, principal of Tracy Area Public Schools, “Her positive attitude, enthusiasm, and exemplary leadership skills are well developed and her leadership attributes have earned her a much deserved and enviable reputation as an outstanding school administrator.  Under her leadership the students, staff, and communities of Gaylord and Arlington (Sibley East Public Schools) have benefited from her knowledge, work ethic, and commitment to excellence in providing the children of her schools and communities with exceptional learning opportunities.” To read more about Mari Lu, click here.
