Martinez Kindergarten School

📓✏️✨ Thank You, MKS Alumni! ✨📓✏️

Thank you all for sending emails and photos — it’s truly beautiful and amazing to hear about the journeys and successes of students from Martinez Kindergarten School. Your stories are a powerful reminder of the legacy built within those classrooms.

We’re continuing to collect pictures, memories, and artifacts to preserve and honor the history of MKS in New Orleans. While our efforts are still ongoing, we encourage alumni to also reach out to the Amistad Research Center, where MKS is proud to be a donor. Amistad houses one of the largest archives dedicated to African American history and may hold materials related to our school.

📍 Learn more or donate:

🔗 https://www.saveblackhistory.org/ (Donate via Save Black History)

❗️Due to federal funding cutbacks, Amistad has reduced its business hours. Your donations help keep staff employed and support regular operational hours, so this vital resource remains available for generations to come.

💙 Keep sharing your MKS stories in the comments, or tag fellow alumni. Let’s continue to celebrate the legacy of Martinez Kindergarten School — a place that shaped so many New Orleanian lives.

The Past Empowers The Future | Amistad Research Center Welcome to the Amistad Research Center, the world's largest independent archive dedicated to preserving Black history.

Dear All MKS Alumni.
I received a message from Meta stating they will delete my page. This is disheartening. I will have to create a different Facebook account for the Martinez Kindergarten School alumni. Please if you can send photos and memories to email [email protected].
I'm truly disheartened by Meta - Facebook.
Regards,
Sophia Martinez

MKS Alumni, I, Sophia Martinez, is asking for assistance from you in order to clean up and secure the premises of the Martinez Kindergarten School. We have been slapped with numerous Code Enforcement Violations. My family and I are constantly securing the premises and maintaining the property for future plans. Unfortunately we have encounter criminals that keep trespassing and destroying the property by tearing the boarded windows, doors, gates down, and illegal dumping tires, etc. There are drug users that have destroyed the school and my grandparents home.
I will be in New Orleans on July 24, 2021 Saturday - cleaning up the property.
I ask if the MKS Alumni could help us by donating construction supplies, services, and labor to help secure the premises again, as well as, helping us haul the trash that has been illegally dumped on the MKS property would be greatly helpful.
You can directly contact me using Facebook Messenger.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
Sophia Martinez

I understand New Orleans & other US cities are in dire need of educational resources. I wish there was a way to provide education to all. The children in Malawi skip meals & lives are threatened by under age marriages, HIV diseases, etc. in order to attend school.
