🍎🎮LEVELING UP LUNCH🎮🍎 Let's get ready to level up with school lunch! Celebrate National School Lunch Week with the Martin County School District during Oct. 9-13! Our Food and Nutrition Services teams have been practicing their gaming skills and perfecting the menus for their schools. National School Lunch Week highlights the nutritious foods available daily at each school in the District. It's also a chance to bring awareness of the importance of healthy food choices at school. “School lunches offer students fruits and vegetables, whole grains and milk, and meet federal nutrition standards limiting fat, calories and sodium,” said Laura Holmedal, MCSD's Director of Food and Nutrition Services. “National School Lunch Week helps us educate parents and students about all the wonderful benefits of our lunch program.” Read more about how the District is celebrating National School Lunch Week here: https://www.martinschools.org/article/1264008 #ALLINMartin👊 #NSLW2023 #LevelUpWithSchoolLunch

👋💚💙START WITH HELLO💙💚👋 This past week, students, staff, and families at Felix A. Williams Elementary celebrated Start with Hello Week! During Start with Hello, the goal is to teach the children how to be more socially inclusive and connected with each other. The Start with Hello initiative asks students, educators, parents, and community members who interact with children to take steps in the classroom, the lunchroom, recess, and other times in their day to be intentionally inclusive and connected to each other. In other words, to make each person seen. To celebrate a great week and to encourage students to continue to “Start with Hello,” FAWE welcomed the Jensen Beach High School Band and JBHS Student Government Leaders Friday morning. Every student was greeted with a hello, a high five, a wave, a smile, and some amazing music, thanks to the incredible JBHS band! The week ended on a "high note" and with a full circle moment. Many of the JBHS students who visited are FAWE alum, leading by example. Not only were they alum, but some were also part of the very first Start With Hello Week initiative eight years ago! It was a beautiful and joyous display of our district’s efforts to be #bettertogether. 💙💚 #ALLINMartin👊 #MCSDBetterTogether💫 #StartWithHello

🇺🇸CELEBRATE FREEDOM WEEK🇺🇸 The Florida Legislature has designated the last full week in September as "Celebrate Freedom Week." During this special week, the Martin County School District will proudly incorporate meaningful activities and lessons to reinforce the principles our nation was founded on. 🇺🇸📖 Celebrate Freedom Week highlights the significance of the Declaration of Independence. Through our social studies classes, students will participate in an age-appropriate in-depth student of the intent, meaning and importance of the Declaration of Independence. Each morning throughout the week, students will recite the following words of the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Families that do not wish to have their child participate in the oral recitation of the Declaration of Independence must provide written notice to their school no later than Friday morning, September 22. #ALLINMartin👊 #CelebrateFreedomWeek2023

🇺🇸CELEBRATING CONSTITUTION WEEK🇺🇸 The first 10 amendments to the Constitution were ratified together in 1791, and are called collectively the Bill of Rights. Students at Pinewood Elementary learned about the Bill of Rights today from Judge Alan Forst, of the Fourth District of Appeals Court in Florida. At Felix A. Williams Elementary, students voted to make all Mondays an optional school day as they discovered more about the Constitution and how a bill becomes law. Jon Eberst and Donna Demarchi from the Eberst Law Firm taught this fun lesson! J.D. Parker Elementary School students explored the differences between the three branches of government with Erin Kirkwood from Erin Kirkwood Law. It's been a great first day so far celebrating the 236th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution! #ALLINMartin👊 #ConstitutionWeek #PublicSchoolProud
