⛵️CARDBOARD BOAT RACES⛵️
The 8th Annual Cardboard Boat Races took over the Martin County High School pool today—and yes, there were boats that floated… and boats that absolutely did not. 😂🌊
This year was extra fun with middle school joining for the first time!
🏆 Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School swept the speed awards in middle school and also took home Most Spirited Team!
🏆 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
🚢 Titanic Award: Stuart Middle School & Citrus Grove Elementary School
A day full of floating victories, dramatic sinkings, education, and unforgettable fun—just how Cardboard Boat Races should be! 🚤💙
#ALLINMartin👊 #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 “Close Enuff II” 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!
