❄️ WINTER BREAK IS HERE! ❄️
Winter Break has arrived, and we’re wishing our students, employees, and families a restful, joy-filled break. May the days ahead bring time to slow down, recharge, and soak in the magic of the season—whether that means cozy moments, special traditions, or simply time together.
We can’t wait to welcome students and staff back in the new year as we continue a school year rooted in excellence. Classes resume January 5.

💙CHAMPIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS💙
Last night, Superintendent Maine and School Board members proudly recognized our School Social Service Workers at the School Board meeting. As trained mental health professionals and key members of our crisis response team, they support students and families when it matters most.
Beyond crisis response, they go #ALLINMartin👊 every day—serving as a vital bridge between schools and the community, connecting families to resources, partnering with organizations like United Way, and supporting initiatives such as the Elev8Hope turkey basket distribution. Their work helps ensure every child has the support needed to overcome challenges and succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.
We are deeply grateful for the compassion, commitment, and care they bring to our schools and families each day. 💙

🎄💙LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM💙🎄
Today was an unforgettable day for our visually impaired students, who took their learning out into the community with the support of the Stuart Police Department. Officers picked up our students for a special trip to the Treasure Coast Mall, where they practiced real-world skills like budgeting, identifying items on their shopping lists, and using orientation and mobility techniques to navigate a new environment with confidence.
They even picked out gifts to donate to local families… and yes, no holiday mall trip is complete without a photo with Santa! 🎅🎄
A huge thank-you to the Stuart Police Department and our dedicated teachers for creating opportunities that build confidence, independence, and joy for our students.

🌟UNSTOPPABLE TEAMMATE: LIFESAVER EDITION🌟
Some moments remind us exactly why the right people in the right place truly matter. At Jensen Beach Elementary School, one of those moments happened when Ms. Dina McFadden didn’t hesitate—she acted.
When a 5th-grader began choking on a water bottle cap, Ms. McFadden relied on her training, her calm, and her instincts. While others called 911, she immediately performed the Heimlich maneuver, helping him dislodge the cap and breathe again. His mom, a para on campus, rushed over—grateful beyond words that her child had an everyday hero by his side when it mattered most.
Today, Superintendent Maine, Executive Director of HR Jeff Raimann and his team, Principal Smith, Assistant Principal Law, the student, and his mom surprised Ms. McFadden with a special Unstoppable Teammate Award, celebrating her courage, care, and quick life-saving action.
Ms. McFadden, thank you for being extraordinary—and for showing what it truly means to go #ALLINMartin👊.

PREPARING OUR FUTURE TODAY🌟🎓
The Job & Career Fair at Jensen Beach High School showcased what happens when student initiative meets strong community partnerships! SkillsUSA students took the lead in organizing an event that connected their classmates with local businesses and real career pathways.
We’re proud to see opportunities like this that elevate student leadership and strengthen the ties between our schools and community. Thank you to our industry partners for inspiring our students and helping prepare them for bright futures.
