🌊💚 Making a difference beyond our school walls!
This morning, some of our incredible 4th Grade Green Team and their families joined Mrs. Higgins and rolled up their sleeves and joined Keep Martin Beautiful for a Coastal Cleanup! 🧤🗑️
Our Sailfish are learning that being good stewards of our community and environment starts with small actions. Today, they put that lesson into action! 💚🐟
Thank you to our Green Team families for spending your Saturday morning helping keep our beautiful Martin County coastline clean! We are so proud of you! 🌴🌊

🇺🇸CELEBRATING CONSTITUTION WEEK🇺🇸
Constitution Week officially begins on September 17, but Martin County School District students are already getting a head start!
Further highlighting the importance of this annual observance, the Martin County School Board approved the 2026 Constitution Week Proclamation at Tuesday night's meeting, developed with Ms. Rae Scimeca and the Halpatiokee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
As we recognize the 239th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution, students across the District will spend the week learning about the document that continues to shape our nation and protect our freedoms.

Today is National School Backpack Awareness Day, a reminder that a properly fitted and packed backpack can make a big difference in a child's comfort, health, and readiness to learn.
As our Sailfish head to class each day, take a moment to check that backpacks are:
✔️ Worn with both shoulder straps
✔️ Adjusted to fit snugly against the back
✔️ Packed with only what is needed for the day
✔️ Free of unnecessary weight that can strain growing bodies
A backpack is more than a school supply. It's a daily tool that helps students stay organized, responsible, and prepared for success. By building healthy backpack habits now, we're helping our children learn and grow with confidence all year long.
Thank you, Sailfish families, for partnering with us to keep our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn every day! 💙💚

🌊⛵ HOW TO SAIL SUNDAY! 💙💚
Our final letter for "SAIL" is L - LEARN & LEAD BY EXAMPLE! At school, we encourage our Sailfish to stay curious, keep learning, persevere through challenges, and be positive leaders. At home, one of the best ways to encourage these qualities is simply to model them! Let your child see you learning, trying, growing, and leading with kindness. 💙💚
Working together, staff at our school and parents at home can set strong examples of what SAILing looks like. We can inspire our Sailfish to SAIL strong! ⛵️🌊
💙 Happy Grandparents Day! 💙
Today, we celebrate the grandparents who fill our students’ lives with love, wisdom, encouragement, and a whole lot of wonderful memories! From cheering at events to sharing stories, helping with homework, and offering the best hugs, grandparents make a lasting difference.
Thank you for being such an important part of our Sailfish family and for helping our students learn, grow, and shine. We are so grateful for you! 🐟💙

Close Reading glasses make learning more fun! Second grade students are practicing their close reading skills using fun play glasses 👓 to ensure they don’t miss a single word while tracking and learning to following along. Deepening literacy skills through simple, fun, and silly ideas for the win!
🇺🇸 Tomorrow, September 11, our school community pauses to honor and remember. We look back to the innocent lives lost, the everyday heroes who selflessly stepped up, and care that brought our nation together. To help recognize this solemn day, please join us in wearing red, white, and blue tomorrow. ❤️🤍💙
🌽 Things got a little CORN-tentious in class! 😂
Our gifted 5th grade class took on ✨The Great Corn Debate✨ carefully reading informational texts and using text evidence to build and defend their arguments about Three Sisters Planting, Two-Crop Rotation, and Four-Crop Rotation.
📚🌱 Students weren’t just picking a side, they were reading closely, evaluating evidence, thinking critically, and thoughtfully communicating their ideas. We love watching our Sailfish tackle reading and communication skills with confidence, curiosity, and some friendly debate! 💙💚

This week, we’re focusing on I — INCREDIBLY RESPONSIBLE! At school, we encourage our Sailfish to take ownership of their choices, stay organized, follow through, and do their part. At home, give your child opportunities to practice responsibility, make choices, and show that they can be counted on. ⚓️
Little choices today can lead to big success tomorrow! 💙💚
Welcome to the real world, kiddos! 🏦💰
Our 5th graders are taking on a big challenge this month—balancing a family budget! They're earning salaries, paying bills, buying groceries, and balancing their checkbooks.
The big question: Will they have money left at the end of the month for fun activities and a few luxuries? 😅
It's hands-on learning at its best as our students discover the importance of financial literacy and smart money management!
