Felix A. Williams Elementary School

🌊MAKING RIPPLES🌊 We are honored to celebrate Mr. Joe, an outstanding substitute teacher who has served students enrolled in Exceptional Student Education (ESE) classes at Felix A. Williams Elementary over the last few weeks. "Mr. Joe has been a wonderful addition to our unit," Ms. Cooney shares. "He has taken on being a paraprofessional in our room for the past month, and his assistance has been priceless. He goes out of his way to form wonderful relationships with the students and comes in every morning with endless positivity to share. Our little group will greatly miss him. We hope to have him join us in our classroom again soon!" Thank you for growing #MCSDTheRippleEffect through your commitment to our students, Mr. Joe! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

🍎OUTSTANDING EMPLOYEE SHOUT-OUT🍎 "There are no words to describe how thankful I am for Ms. Borror. She was my kindergarten teacher 19 years ago; she helped shape my love for school and education. Now 19 years later, I’m beyond honored to say she now teaches my daughter! Her love for her students, both old and new, is unmatched. She is kind, loving, funny, and by far the best teacher to help guide you into your first years of school. Ms. Borror will always and forever be someone special to me and my family."- Martin County School District Parent/Alum regarding Ms. Scottie Borro at Felix A. Williams Elementary. Thank you, Ms. Borro, for making a difference in our students' lives through the generations! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud #MCSDTheRippleEffect

🚨SAFETY FIRST🚨 Families - please ensure your child wears their school-issued ID badge daily. These ID badges are an essential component of our overall safety plan. In addition, your child's badge allows them to easily perform certain school-related functions, such as boarding/exiting their school bus, purchasing meals or checking out materials from the media center. If your child needs a new badge, please contact their school. #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud
