Welcome to the Tom Daniels Elementary School Challenge Lab!

My name is Melissa Martin, and I will be your guide through some amazing enrichment, research, and STEM opportunities in the Challenge Lab.

This is my 18th year of teaching, my 11th year in KISD, and my 7th year in the Challenge Lab.

In my free time, you can find me on my front porch reading a book, thrifting in our local thrift stores, working in my garden, kayaking our beautiful rivers and lakes, and hanging out with my fabulous family. 

I am looking forward to another amazing year watching these beautiful minds challenge themselves and each other to reach farther, push harder, dig deeper, and celebrate every milestone together.

If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you!!
