🎉ACADEMIC GAMES ARE BACK🎉
It’s almost time for our 3rd–8th graders in the Martin County School District to showcase their skills in the Academic Games!

Academic Games build the skills that prepare our students for the future while letting them represent their schools with pride...and they are also SUPER FUN!

🏈FIRST GAME VIBES🏈

Friday night lights are BACK tomorrow, and we’re ready for the hype, the touchdowns and the all-out school spirit. 🎉👏📣

Just a friendly reminder:
📣 Middle school students must be accompanied by an adult—no solo entry allowed (and yes, we will be those people making sure a parent/guardian comes to get them).
📣 All students, no matter their grade, must show a valid school ID to get in.
📣 Backpacks and large bags are not allowed.
📣 This goes for all high school sporting events.

PSA over. 😅 Thanks for showing love to all our MCSD teams, no matter the sport. Here’s to packed stands, big plays, and a season full of moments worth replaying!
