🎣🔥 Kindergarten Adventure Time! 🔥🎣
Our Sailfish Kindergarteners had an amazing time exploring the world of fishing and camping in our PLAYS Lab. From “casting” their lines to building cozy campsite setups, our little explorers were busy learning through play, imagination, and hands‑on discovery. 🏕️🐟
A huge thank you to the Education Foundation of Martin County for providing this incredible PLAYS Lab experience. Your support helps bring joyful, purposeful learning to life for our youngest students, and we are so grateful! 💙
Seeing our kinders problem‑solve, collaborate, and explore like true adventurers is what learning at FAWE is all about! 🌟

🌟 Kindergarten Engineers at Work! 🏗️✨
Our Felix A. Williams kindergarteners had an amazing time in the PLAYS Lab as they explored a hands-on construction challenge!
Students worked together to plan, build, and problem‑solve just like real professionals in the field. We talked about the important jobs that make construction possible, including electricians, project managers, and planners, and our young learners stepped right into those roles with teamwork and creativity.
From drawing blueprints to collaborating on structures, these little builders showed big imagination and even bigger perseverance. We’re so proud of how they communicated, shared ideas, and brought their designs to life!
🔧👷♀️ Future creators, innovators, and community builders- right here at FAWE! 💙💛

🎧✨ Silent Disco Success! ✨🎧
Our Related Arts Team and PBIS Team knocked it out of the park today with the most incredible Silent Disco! From start to finish, the energy was amazing. Our students were absolute superstars—dancing their hearts out, trying new things, and showing off all the positive behavior that makes events like this possible.
It wasn’t just the kids having fun, though… our teachers were right there on the dance floor, too! 😄💃🕺 Seeing everyone (students and staff alike!) smiling, moving, and making memories together made the day truly special.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped plan, set up, and support this event. What a joyful reminder of how strong and fun our school community is! 💙
