Constitution Week officially begins on September 17, but Martin County School District students are already getting a head start!
Further highlighting the importance of this annual observance, the Martin County School Board approved the 2026 Constitution Week Proclamation at Tuesday night's meeting, developed with Ms. Rae Scimeca and the Halpatiokee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
As we recognize the 239th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution, students across the District will spend the week learning about the document that continues to shape our nation and protect our freedoms.

🌿🦁 Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🦁🌿
Today, our 7th grade Lions had an amazing opportunity to visit the Environmental Studies Center! 🌱🐢🌊
Students experienced hands-on learning about our local environment, wildlife, ecosystems, and the importance of protecting the natural world around us. 🔎🦎🌳
They explored the center, asked thoughtful questions, observed local wildlife, and connected their classroom learning to the beautiful environment right here in our own community. 💙💛
This field trip gave students the opportunity to learn through discovery, teamwork, and real-world experiences. We are proud of their curiosity, enthusiasm, and willingness to engage in every activity! 🌎✨
A huge thank you to the Environmental Studies Center educators for sharing their knowledge and making learning such an exciting experience for our students. We also appreciate our teachers and chaperones for helping make this memorable day possible! 🙌
What a wonderful day of exploration, learning, and Lions pride!
Way to learn, Lions! 🦁🌿
