TWIN HILLS — One of his students has made quite an impression on Twin Hills School Principal Bob Pinkston.

Third-grader Kaden Martin told Pinkston on Wednesday that he is donating one-half of the money he earned on his prize pig at the Muskogee Regional Junior Livestock Show to the school, which had a building destroyed by fire Feb. 27.

“That’s just something that sort of chills you all the way through — to think a third grader would think of that,” Pinkston said.

Kaden’s pig, a crossbreed, placed first in class at the Muskogee show and drew a $600 bid from D&S Cabinets in the premium auction.

Kaden intends to give $300 of that to his school.

His father, Darren Martin, said it was Kaden’s own idea, one that was not prompted by suggestion.

“Go find how many kids would do that these days,” Darren Martin said. “They would rather go buy a video game or something.”

Kaden Martin thinks it’s just the think to do — to help the school.

“My school burned,” Kaden said. “They lost all the baseball equipment, desks, paper and pencils — all the stuff burned.”

This is Kaden’s second year at Twin Hills, he attended kindergarten and first grade at Liberty-Morris, which has since closed.

He said he likes Twin Hills School.

“All the kids are nice there and you get to play basketball,” he said. “My principal is nice.”

Pinkston described Kaden as being a “wonderful little boy. He is a very caring boy.”

He said he wants to use Kaden’s contribution for something very special at the school.

“We’ve got to come up with something that that is special because this is a special contribution by a special little boy,” he said.
