🪴🛠️PLANTING KNOWLEDGE🛠️🪴
Five Martin County School District plant operators recently ventured to the annual Florida School Plant Management Association (FSPMA) conference to grow their job knowledge and skills.
Steve Miller (The Pinewood Elementary), Gilberto Calderon (Bessey Creek Elementary School), Jonathan Sequiera (Crystal Lake Elementary School), Edgardo Rivera (Jensen Beach Elementary School), and Dana Martin (SDO) attended the conference along with our Safety Manager, Mark Cocco.
They learned important health and safety updates from the Florida Department of Education and engaged in learning about maintenance and proper groundskeeping. Steve Miller was lucky enough to even participate in the podcast "Beyond Clean with ACE!"

🇺🇸CELEBRATING CONSTITUTION WEEK🇺🇸
To commemorate Constitution Week, first graders at Bessey Creek Elementary School were treated to a presentation by Mrs. Abby Spears, an attorney at Nason Yeager Gerson Harris & Fumero, P.A.
Mrs. Dorothy Hyland, a first-grade teacher, engaged students in celebrating the 236th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution by delivering lessons about the document's seven articles and 27 amendments. Students learned that this document is the "Law of the Land" and to always remember the significance of "We the People."
They also created flags and mailboxes to illustrate the theme of Red, White and Blue! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
#ALLINMartin👊 #ConstitutionWeek
🇺🇸CELEBRATE FREEDOM WEEK🇺🇸
The Florida Legislature has designated the last full week in September as "Celebrate Freedom Week." During this special week, the Martin County School District will proudly incorporate meaningful activities and lessons to reinforce the principles our nation was founded on. 🇺🇸📖
Celebrate Freedom Week highlights the significance of the Declaration of Independence. Through our social studies classes, students will participate in an age-appropriate in-depth student of the intent, meaning and importance of the Declaration of Independence. Each morning throughout the week, students will recite the following words of the Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Families that do not wish to have their child participate in the oral recitation of the Declaration of Independence must provide written notice to their school no later than Friday morning, September 22.
