๐บ๐ฒSAFE DELIVERY๐บ๐ฒ
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!

In honor of National School Counseling Week, Martin County School District staff and students want to thank all the school counselors in the District!
Counselors do it all, from mental health and teaching Character Counts, to assisting students with their schedules and setting them up for life after high school...without school counselors, we don't have academic success!
Thank you, school counselors, for everything you do for students and staff.

๐CELEBRATING OUR HISTORY๐
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.

๐CELEBRATING LEADERS AND TRAILBLAZERS๐
Today, we celebrate our first of many local leaders in honor of #BlackHistoryMonth. Dr. David L. Anderson was an educational pioneer in Martin County, having served as a School Board Member and in various leadership roles at IRSC - Indian River State College for more than 30 years.
In 2006, he was honored as the namesake of the Martin County School District's newest middle school - Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School. Dr. Anderson passed away on December 23, 2021, at the age of 80.

๐ฅงTASTEFUL CELEBRATION๐ฅง
Who doesn't love a good pie? What about a pie to the face?
Felix A. Williams Elementary Assistant Principal Justin Browning can answer that question!
The 4th grade team at FAWE has raised over $5,000 for the Sailfish Sprint FUN RUN. So far, FAWE students have raised $20,000 altogether!
The funds from the Fun Run go directly to FAWE and helps sponsor events like Sailfish Splash, Little Lady/Little Man dances, in-school field trips, author visits, Cox Science night, fourth grade frolic, and so much more!
So, Mr. Browning got a pie in the face to celebrate the amazing achievement ๐ฅง
