โš“ ANCHOR YOURSELF THURSDAY! ๐Ÿ’™

Today, weโ€™re talking about what to do when things feel challenging. Sometimes, being brave means knowing when to reach out to a trusted adult who can help us stay grounded, work through a tough situation, and keep moving forward. ๐Ÿ’š

Tomorrow, weโ€™ll celebrate YOU with "Dress Uniquely Youโ€ Friday! ๐ŸŽ‰ Show off something you love or something that makes you special - maybe a favorite cat shirt because you LOVE cats ๐Ÿฑ or a soccer jersey because you play soccer โšฝ. It can be simple! Just remember to follow all dress code guidelines.

We canโ€™t wait to see all the unique things that make our FAWE family special! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’šโœจ

๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ’š Make Waves Together Wednesday! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒŠ Today at FAWE, we continued our Start With Hello week by making waves together! Our 3rdโ€“5th graders partnered with buddy classes in VPKโ€“2nd grade to read, play, create, and spend some time getting to know one another. From books and games to leaf rubbings and other fun activities, every group found their own unique way to connect. Our students also wore green to celebrate unity, and they showed us just how much fun it can be when we come together. ๐Ÿ’š Sometimes making a big wave starts with something as simple as saying hello! ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ‘‹ #FAWEProud #FAWEFamily #StartWithHello #MakingWaves #ShowUpForMore

๐Ÿ’ง RIPPLES OF KINDNESS TUESDAY! ๐Ÿ’™

Yesterday, we learned that it all starts with hello, and today, weโ€™re thinking about what happens next! One kind word, thoughtful action, or simple gesture can create a ripple that reaches someone else and inspires them to pass that kindness along. ๐ŸŒŠ

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธCELEBRATING CONSTITUTION WEEK๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Constitution Week officially begins on September 17, but Martin County School District students are already getting a head start!

Further highlighting the importance of this annual observance, the Martin County School Board approved the 2026 Constitution Week Proclamation at Tuesday night's meeting, developed with Ms. Rae Scimeca and the Halpatiokee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

As we recognize the 239th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution, students across the District will spend the week learning about the document that continues to shape our nation and protect our freedoms.

Today is National School Backpack Awareness Day, a reminder that a properly fitted and packed backpack can make a big difference in a child's comfort, health, and readiness to learn.

As our Sailfish head to class each day, take a moment to check that backpacks are:
โœ”๏ธ Worn with both shoulder straps
โœ”๏ธ Adjusted to fit snugly against the back
โœ”๏ธ Packed with only what is needed for the day
โœ”๏ธ Free of unnecessary weight that can strain growing bodies

A backpack is more than a school supply. It's a daily tool that helps students stay organized, responsible, and prepared for success. By building healthy backpack habits now, we're helping our children learn and grow with confidence all year long.

Thank you, Sailfish families, for partnering with us to keep our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn every day! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š
