🍎#THANKANMCSDPRINCIPAL🍎 Teacher Susi Turzanski-Wilbanks is grateful for Riverbend Academy Principal Gary Sparks. "Thank you, Mr. Sparks," she shares. "Words can not describe how much we appreciate you. Your compassion, dedication, and commitment to the well-being of our school community is indescribable. You have constantly taken on challenges - some unique and monumental - and found solutions by thinking outside the box. Equally important, you have continually shown gratitude and encouragement to all of us here at Riverbend. Your positive attitude and constant drive to move forward is inspiring. You have brought our Bobcat community to new heights by touching the lives of our children and staff on a team or by yourself. Additionally, you have been hugely instrumental as a hospital liaison to find better ways and solutions for our unusual circumstances. Riverbend is the only school in Martin County with this unique hospital-school environment. Many people have no knowledge of the countless hours of your involvement and dedication. These qualities are truly the mark of an altruistic leader. I want to publicly thank you for everything you do." #ALLINMartin👊

🔍BUILDING A MYSTERY🔍 South Fork High School Drama students are currently performing Clue on Stage! Picture this - it's a dark and stormy night, and you've been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well . . . dead. So whodunnit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up.
