📚CELEBRATING OUR HISTORY📚 As our celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth continues, we spotlight two brothers who were educational pioneers in Martin County, Charles E. and Robert G. Murray. Charles Murray founded the Stuart Training School in 1926 - this was the county's first high school for Black students. He remained principal until 1939 when his brother, Robert, took over. Stuart Training School eventually became Spectrum Academy and Murray Middle School was named after the brothers. #ALLINMartin👊

🥧TASTEFUL CELEBRATION🥧 Who doesn't love a good pie? What about a pie to the face? Felix A. Williams Elementary Assistant Principal Justin Browning can answer that question! The 4th grade team at FAWE has raised over $5,000 for the Sailfish Sprint FUN RUN. So far, FAWE students have raised $20,000 altogether! The funds from the Fun Run go directly to FAWE and helps sponsor events like Sailfish Splash, Little Lady/Little Man dances, in-school field trips, author visits, Cox Science night, fourth grade frolic, and so much more!
