It's a special tradition that seniors, elementary students and teachers look forward to. The seniors see how far they've come. The teachers see their former students all grown up and ready to take on the world as adults. The younger students see their future.

🍎LEAVING A LEGACY🍎 On Tuesday evening, Superintendent Michael Maine and the Martin County School Board celebrated the career of Jensen Beach Elementary School's Heather Lafary. Ms. Lafary has educated Martin County School District students for 35 incredible years, starting as a teenager at Hobe Sound Elementary School as an Extended Day Counselor! Ms. Lafary is known for her caring nature and positive attitude. She can also remember every child's name and their family member! Ms. Lafary has most recently been the Computer Lab Assistant at JBE, and Principal Radcliff says her good vibes and kindness will sorely be missed. Thank you for being so dedicated to MCSD over the years. We hope your retirement is filled with lots of adventure, Ms. Lafary! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud
