⛳STUDENT BECOMES TEACHER⛳ Rob Uzar, a South Fork High School alum, recently hosted 45 current SFHS students at the Eastpointe Country Club for a field trip with First Green (a program of GCSAA). In addition to a walking tour of the 16th, 17th and 18th holes, students also visited the pump house. They walked to Mr. Uzar’s golf course maintenance building, where they spent some time with equipment technician Clay Bormuth and several other technicians from nearby courses who came to help out. Uzar was one of four superintendents from South Florida golf courses working with the students that day. SFHS Principal Dr. Tim Aitken said he loves the "positive publicity from industry connections demonstrating the need for our kids to be experienced and ready to work on the golf courses."

🌽WHAT'S POPPIN'🌽 Indiantown Middle School is poppin' with mini blue corn! Students chose to grow mini blue corn so they could make popcorn🍿. They planted at the beginning of November, and the majority of the corn was ready to be harvested on Thursday! When students planted the corn, they were asked "when popped, do you think the popcorn will be blue or white?" They don't know the answer just yet...the corn needs to dry in order to pop in the microwave. Fun Facts about corn: 🌽Every piece of corn is attached to a string of silk at the tip of a corn husk. 🌽United States is the world's largest producer and exporter of corn and the US's #1 field crop. 🌽Corn is a vegetable, fruit and grain. What a fun experiment for Ms. Monks and the Garden Club! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud #MCSDTheRippleEffect
