There’s no doubt that music is a big part of everyone’s lives, and it all starts in the classroom. This is where Marathon ISD Principal Juan Saldana comes in as he leads the inaugural Marathon ISD Native American flute class, composed of seventh graders Sadie Carter, Marco Briones, Elah Barlow, and Amaris Martinez. Said Saldana, “Here in Marathon, we are very interested in teaching the whole child, and part of that is adding fine arts into the program. It has been shown that children who study music score better in standardized tests, and they also have better attendance at school.”
