🇺🇲SAFE DELIVERY🇺🇲 Martin County Fire Rescue is all about rescuing people when they need help, and we appreciate them for their hard work. Unfortunately, for some of the eggs, no amount of firefighters could save them from their fate. That was up to Martin County School District students to create egg protection devices during the annual Egg Drop Competition! Of the 154 students who participated in this year's Egg Drop challenge, 52 eggs survived in their homemade protection devices. We are very proud of all our students, and we appreciate the assistance from the firefighters! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud #MCSDTheRippleEffect

📚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👊
