โต๏ธCARDBOARD BOAT RACESโต๏ธ
The 8th Annual Cardboard Boat Races took over the Martin County High School pool todayโand yes, there were boats that floatedโฆ and boats that absolutely did not. ๐๐
This year was extra fun with middle school joining for the first time!
๐ Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School swept the speed awards in middle school and also took home Most Spirited Team!
๐ Crystal Lake Elementary School dominated the elementary speed awards, while Bessey Creek Elementary School brought the spirit and earned Most Spirited Team!
Best Boat Blueprint: Indiantown Middle School & Hobe Sound Elementary School
๐ข Titanic Award: Stuart Middle School & Citrus Grove Elementary School
A day full of floating victories, dramatic sinkings, education, and unforgettable funโjust how Cardboard Boat Races should be! ๐ค๐
#ALLINMartin๐ #PublicSchoolProud #UnstoppableSince1925










What a fantastic morning at the 2026 #MCSDCardboardBoatRace! Our CGE team battled tough competition and proudly brought home second place. Our two family boats also shone brightly: the Freshour โClose Enuff IIโ took first in their heat, and the Zaboli boat earned the Titanic Award.
A big thank you to Ryder and family, and to Tristan with Grandpa for joining us and making it even more special. Mrs. Roberts and Sienna paddled our CGE boat to a well-earned silver, making teammates Quinn, Largo, Hunter, and Camden proud.
Huge kudos to Mrs. Molina-Council and her husband for leading such a memorable Diamondback experience!
