Felix A. Williams Elementary School

Join us in BLUE tomorrow FAWE Families! 💙

🍝🎉 Now THAT was a BINGO-tastic night! 🎉🍝 More than 200 people came out for our Spaghetti Dinner & Bingo Family Night, and we couldn’t have asked for a better turnout! Full bellies, big smiles, lots of laughs, and plenty of BINGO fun made for a night full of happy memories. 💙💚 A PASTA-tively HUGE thank you to our amazing FAWE PTA for making this special evening possible and bringing our school family together! ❤️ And a delicious shoutout to Giuseppe’s and Conchy Joe’s for their generous food donations. You helped make sure our night was filled with good food AND full bellies! 🍝🙌 We love seeing our FAWE family gather, connect, and make memories together. 💙💚 Good food + BINGO + family = one saucy success! 😉🍝🎉

💚💙START WITH HELLO!💙💚 Eleven years of choosing kindness, connection and a simple hello. 👋 This week, Felix A. Williams Elementary has been bringing a little extra kindness throughout the campus and today, the Jensen Beach High School Band and SGA helped bring the 11th annual Start With Hello Week to a close by greeting students with music, smiles and high-fives as they arrived at school. 🎶🙌 It’s a small gesture that can make a big difference—and a wonderful way to start the morning. Because at FAWE, we are friends and a family! 💚💙 #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD #StartWithHello

💗🎉 FUN FRIDAY: PINK OUT! 🎉💗 We’re encouraging our Sailfish to celebrate what makes them special by showing off their unique style to cap off our Start with Hello Week, and we're hoping that includes a splash of PINK! 💗 We’ll also be collecting donations during Related Arts tomorrow for the JBHS Cradle Cancer Foundation. Every dollar helps support this important cause and reminds our students that even small acts of kindness can make a BIG difference. Let’s make tomorrow a day full of fun, individuality, kindness, and PINK! 💕🐟 #FunFriday #PinkOut #DressUniquelyYou #ShowUpForMore #FAWESailfish #SailfishStrong

⚓ ANCHOR YOURSELF THURSDAY! 💙

Today, we’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. 💚

Tomorrow, we’ll celebrate YOU with "Dress Uniquely You” Friday! 🎉 Show off something you love or something that makes you special - maybe a favorite cat shirt because you LOVE cats 🐱 or a soccer jersey because you play soccer ⚽. It can be simple! Just remember to follow all dress code guidelines.

We can’t wait to see all the unique things that make our FAWE family special! 💙💚✨

🌊💚 Make Waves Together Wednesday! 💚🌊 Today at FAWE, we continued our Start With Hello week by making waves together! Our 3rd–5th graders partnered with buddy classes in VPK–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. 💚 Sometimes making a big wave starts with something as simple as saying hello! 🌊👋 #FAWEProud #FAWEFamily #StartWithHello #MakingWaves #ShowUpForMore

💙💚 FAWE FAMILY, IT’S TIME TO SHOW SOME LOVE FOR MS. HARKINS! 💚💙 Our Teacher of the Year, Ms. Harkins, represents the very best of FAWE! Her positivity, dedication, patience, grit, love for her students, and incredible expertise make her someone we are so proud to call one of our own. She shows up every day ready to make a difference, meet students where they are, and remind them that they are capable of amazing things. 💙 Now we have a chance to make sure our community knows just how special she is! Please take a moment to vote for Ms. Harkins for Martin County Teacher of the Year! 🐟⭐ 🗳️ Cast your vote here: Education Foundation of Martin County - We want to hear from you! https://share.google/noX3wK9BXXtqj657W Let’s rally behind our FAWE teacher and show Ms. Harkins just how much our Sailfish family appreciates her! 🐟💙💚 #FAWEFamily #FAWEProud #TeacherOfTheYear

💧 RIPPLES OF KINDNESS TUESDAY! 💙

Yesterday, we learned that it all starts with hello, and today, we’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. 🌊

At FAWE, we believe small acts can make a BIG difference. Let’s see how far our kindness can travel today! 💚💙

💚 REMINDER: Tomorrow is Make Waves Together Wednesday! Wear GREEN as we celebrate inclusion, togetherness, and the idea that everyone has a place in our FAWE family. 🌊💚

🌊 START WITH HELLO WEEK IS HERE! 💚

We’re ready to make a splash at FAWE! This week, we’ll be learning how a simple “hello” can open the door to connection, kindness, friendship, and belonging. 💙

Whether it’s greeting someone new, reaching out to someone who’s alone, or simply making someone feel noticed, it all starts with hello! 👋

Let’s make it a great week, FAWE Family! 🌊💚💙
Who will YOU say hello to today?

It's going to be a great week at FAWE!

#StartwithHello #FAWESailfish #MakingWaves

🌊 Start with Hello Week is almost here! 💚 Our students will be learning all week about kindness, connection, inclusion, courage, and celebrating what makes each of us unique. Families, you can help make those lessons stick! Take a few minutes each day to chat with your child about what they learned, ask a question, or share a way your family can put it into action. When school and home work together, those little ripples can make a BIG difference! 🌊💙💚 #FAWEProud #StartWithHello #ChooseKind

👀🗣️ See Something, Say Something! 🗣️👀

At FAWE, creating a safe, welcoming school community is everyone's responsibility. If you notice something that doesn't seem right, or if a friend needs help, speak up and tell a trusted adult. Small actions can make a big difference!

By looking out for one another, showing respect, and caring for our school family, we help keep our campus safe and supportive for all Sailfish. 💙
