๐CELEBRATING LITERACY๐
On International Literacy Day, we celebrate how reading opens doors for students of every age. Just ask Alanna Gilbride, Martin County High School Class of 2024! Through her high school CTE teacher training program at Port Salerno Elementary School, Alanna discovered her passion for early education. Now, she's working in Extended Day at Jensen Beach Elementary School, reading to VPK and Kindergarten students while completing her AA in education. Her dream? To become a PreK or Kindergarten teacher. ๐
Her story reminds us that when we nurture a love of reading, weโre not just building future-ready students in our A-rated Districtโweโre inspiring students to follow their dreams.
