🍎LEAVING A LEGACY🍎 Last night, Superintendent Michael Maine and the Martin County School Board celebrated the career of Felix A. Williams Elementary's Ms. Valerie Young-Baldwin. Ms. Baldwin has served the Martin County School District for 36 wonderful years! She started her career as an educator at Jensen Beach Elementary School, teaching 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. She later transferred to FAWE as a media specialist, where she became known as the Book Wizard because she had all the books. Over the years Ms. Baldwin has participated in the Education Foundation of Martin County's Robotics Program, the Academic Games and Book Bowls. Thank you, Ms. Baldwin, for your dedication to your students and for nurturing their love of reading for the last 36 years! We wish you the best in retirement. #ALLINMartin👊

🐾HELPING FURRY FRIENDS🐾 Student council members at Felix A. Williams Elementary recently completed their Spring service project in which they chose to support the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast. They organized a school-wide donation drive collecting items like pet food, treats, beds, collars, crates, and more from their #FAWEFamily. Last weekend, they delivered donations and then spent two and a half hours doing service learning. Students toured the shelter, learned about the Humane Society's Mission, and even assisted in some light cleaning. They also made enrichment treats for shelter dogs, cats, and critters. The Humane Society staff even named two kittens after student council members Liam and Allan! Students learned you're never too young to make a difference and support the causes close to your heart ❤️ #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

🤝CREATING LASTING CONNECTIONS🤝 Our Florida Teacher of the Year, Melissa Matz, visited the Martin County School District last week. She attended and presented an "EdTalk" session at the District's 6th annual H.A.P.P.Y. Conference on Thursday, where teachers learned about diving in taking on challenges with their students. Ms. Matz then saw students in action on Friday at Felix A. Williams Elementary. It was an honor to have her share her expertise and celebrate the great work students and staff do here in Martin County! #ALLINMartin👊
