Felix A. Williams Elementary School

🎶💙💚 FAWE Arts = A Whole Vibe 💚💙🎶 Last night was pure magic (and a whole lot of fun)! Our FAWE students lit up the stage with recorder and vocal performances at a benefit concert sponsored by the Jensen Beach Chamber of Commerce. 🎤🎶 In addition, many of our talented FAWE artists had their work on display, turning our local mall into a stunning art gallery bursting with color. Creativity was everywhere you looked! Huge shoutout to our rockstar music and art teachers, Colleen Dougherty and Laura Pryor, for bringing out the very best in our students. We’re so grateful to the Jensen Beach Chamber of Commerce for hosting such an incredible event that helps celebrate and financially support art and music programs in our community. And FAWE families…WOW. You showed UP! Every seat filled, plus a standing crowd! Talk about love and support! 💙💚 We are so proud of our students and so thankful for this amazing community! 🎶✨ #FAWEProud #ArtsEducation

🚤💦 Sink or Swim: FAWE Takes on the Cardboard Boat Challenge! 😂 FAWE had a splashing good time at the Martin County School District cardboard boat race! Students Autumn and Isla Kelly used STEAM skills to design and build an amazing vessel out of cardboard and masking tape. They also learned that sailfish are meant for the water 🌊😂 and the FAWE boat took that a little too seriously. It made a spectacular splash as it sank, sending Principal Mrs. Tuthill and student Autumn Kelly in for an unexpected swim. A soggy, hilarious, and unforgettable adventure all around! 🚣‍♀️💙

⛵️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

🌸🦋 A Garden That Teaches & Inspires 🦋🌸 5th graders in our gifted program have been hard at work bringing new plants and enrichment items to FAWE's Monarch Waystation! As part of their commitment to care for the butterfly garden, students created a one-of-a-kind library house filled with their own research on native Florida butterflies. Each student designed an infographic to teach others about butterfly life cycles, host and nectar plants, and how to identify each species. This butterfly garden is not just beautiful, but a hands-on learning space for everyone at FAWE to enjoy! To make the space even more inviting, students replanted butterfly-friendly greenery, added books and investigation tools, and decorated the library house with their own painted butterflies. Their creativity and care have turned the garden into a place to slow down, explore, and discover ✨ Thank you Mrs. Kelly for your guidance and facilitation of this wonderful project!

🌎🌿 From the moment Nature Club started today, there was a buzz of excitement, wonder, and hands-on discovery. It truly felt like a "best day ever" for our young nature lovers. 💙💚 Our explorers loved learning from guest expert Amanda Purnell from Friends of the Everglades, who showed them how scientists study birds through bird banding. They even got to make their own bird band–style bracelets and bring a little creativity to life with Roseate Spoonbill artwork after hearing a book about Rosie! One of the best parts of the day was heading outside to hike the FAWE Nature trail with teachers and our Vice Principal, Mr. Browning. Students slowed down, explored the beautiful trail, and really took in the amazing plants and animals around them. With binoculars, they spotted birds and other wildlife near the water. It was such a peaceful, hands-on way to connect with nature. And of course…there was a little excitement too! Mr. Browning shared fish he caught in a cast net, and the kids were absolutely fascinated. Let's just say it definitely made for a "splashing" good time 🐟💦 Moments like these are a beautiful reminder of what Earth Day is all about 🌎💚 At FAWE, we want our students to slow down, notice the world around them, and ✨truly see✨ the beauty in it - from the smallest creatures to the ecosystems right in our own backyard (or playground!). Through experiences like Nature Club, our FAWE students are not just learning about wildlife, they’re learning to care for it, protect it, and be thoughtful stewards of our planet. We couldn't be more proud. Shout-out to all of the FAWE staff members who volunteered their time to make this club possible for our kindergarten through fifth graders. We have the most incredible, most caring, most mission focused team here at FAWE and that is just another thing we are celebrating today 🥳💙💚🌎 #FAWEProud #FAWEFamily #FAWENatureClub #WildlifeAndConservation #PlaceBasedLearning

💙🌊 Happy Administrative Professionals Day! 🌊💙

FAWE would not be the same without you!

Let’s show them some love in the comments! 💙
