4B: Mrs. Martin

Welcome to 4B! My name is Mika Martin and I am your child’s 4th Grade Teacher. I grew up in Seattle and graduated from Central Washington University where I earned two Bachelor degrees: English/Language Arts and English/Language Arts Teaching. This school year marks my 14th year of teaching and my 2nd year at St. Anthony School. I am so thrilled to be back! What I love most about teaching is watching students learn and grow not only in academics but also as members of the community who demonstrate Catholic values. My husband and I have two children, and we enjoy spending time with family and friends. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I look forward to a wonderful year!
