🛠️OUR DOLLARS, OUR DISTRICT🛠️
Construction continued on the new Jensen Beach Elementary School campus before dawn on Friday morning. Crews continued to pour concrete for the foundation of the new school. The new JBE and Palm City Elementary School buildings are being funded by the half-cent sales tax that was generously approved by Martin County voters in 2018.

🌱GROWING STRONG🌱
Students in Ms. Urbay's class at Felix A. Williams Elementary School have enjoyed researching and planning for their garden.
"We spent time considering the plants we had and how we might organize/classify them into planters in a way that made sense and would allow us to give tours in the future to younger students," Ms. Urbay shared. "The students came up with ideas like having one planter specifically for flowering plants and another for non-flowering plants. Now we are learning about specific plants, their unique needs, their uses and how we can best care for them for as long as we can keep them alive!"
Way to go, Sailfish!
