💖CUTENESS OVERLOAD💖 Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) students at Palm City Elementary School had the opportunity to celebrated the culmination of their "Under Construction" curriculum unit in a very special way this morning! Donning hard hats and using their safest eyes, ears and walking feet, students were able to meet the jobsite foreman, peek through the windows of their new school building, ask questions and see real construction equipment in action! The construction of the new Palm City and Jensen Beach elementary schools is being funded by the half-cent sales tax referendum that was generously approved by Martin County voters in 2018. We appreciate Paul Jacquin & Sons Construction and our Facilities Department for embracing our youngest students' vast curiosity and fostering their developing inquiry skills. What may have seemed like a few minutes of a visit resulted in memories that will last a lifetime! #ALLINMartin👊
