๐บ๐ธCELEBRATING CONSTITUTION WEEK๐บ๐ธ
Did you know the Martin County School District has invited local judges and attorneys to celebrate Constitution Week with us for nearly 20 years?
Today, we visited 19th Judicial Circuit Judge Kathleen Roberts at Port Salerno Elementary School and 19th Judicial Circuit Judge Darren Steele at Indiantown Middle School as they talked to students about the Constitution.
Judge Roberts played a game with the students to help them differentiate the three branches of government. Judge Steele focused on the Bill of Rights and related the freedom of speech to a very important message about the use of social media.

๐บ๐ธCELEBRATE FREEDOM WEEK๐บ๐ธ
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. ๐บ๐ธ๐
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:
โWe 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.โ
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.
