๐Ÿ“šHONORING OUR HISTORY๐Ÿ“š What a day!! The Districtโ€™s 2nd Annual Black History Month Event brought out talent, pride, and a whole lot of community spirit at Stuart Middle School.

Thanks also goes out to Georgia Boy & Ethelโ€™s Famous Wings for offering delicious food and the NAACP of Martin County for support!

๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿฅ— FROM CLASSROOM TO CAFETERIA! ๐Ÿฅ—๐ŸŒฑ

At SeaWind Elementary - Hobe Sound, FL, learning was fresh this week โ€” literally. ๐Ÿ˜„

Thanks to a $1,910 grant, Mrs. Remianโ€™s 3rd-grade gifted students have been using an AeroGarden as a living classroom to explore plant science and the engineering design process. Their hard work paid off when they harvested their student-grown lettuce and teamed up with our Food & Nutrition Services staff to create fresh salad cups for lunch.

Rocking chef hats and learning food safety along the way, these students stepped into the role of junior chefs while seeing science come to life.

Experiences like this highlight how our A-rated District connects classroom learning to real-world skills, helping students grow, create, and thrive every day! Enrollment is open! Learn more today: https://bit.ly/3Z1Ny6E
