Larry Martin Memorial
Donation protected
The Larry Martin Memorial has been established for those who would like to give to a cause supported by the late Larry Martin, second-grade teacher at Belinder Elementary School and winner of the 2018 Jeopardy! Teachers' Tournament.
Give here to help continue his student journalism project, The Marvel News.
About The Marvel News:
Mr. Martin created The Marvel News twenty-four years ago as an ongoing writing project for his second-grade students at Belinder Elementary School in Prairie Village, Kansas, a municipality in greater Kansas City. The newspaper was published fortnightly through November 2018, with all editions conceived, executed, sold and delivered by his pupils, Martin’s Marvels. The seven- and eight-year-old children published hand-illustrated articles, book reviews, puzzles and jokes, but the real treat was always the feature interview. Over the years, cub reporters landed Q&A sessions with President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Barbara Bush, Alex Trebek, Dave Barry, and many other inspiring figures.
The Marvel News will continue as an extracurricular project for elementary students in all grades, under the supervision of a professional journalist.
