Palm City Elementary School

🍎SHOWING APPRECIATION🍎 This morning, we are showing appreciation for Ms. Lisa Carbaugh at Palm City Elementary School! "Shout out to Mrs. Carbaugh for being the best kindergarten teacher in the universe," grateful parent Loren Esposito shared. "Her students learn new things every day and are excited to go home and share what they learned with their parents. My son absolutely loves going to school because Mrs. Carbaugh makes learning so much fun. She connects with her students on their level and treats them all like they are her own kids. The love she has for teaching is remarkable and I feel so blessed to have my son in her class. She represents the perfect kindergarten teacher by being supportive, compassionate, and very patient. She truly is one of a kind!" Thank you, Ms. Carbaugh, for going above and beyond for your students! #ALLINMartin👊 #ThankATeacher

🍎LEAVING A LEGACY🍎 On Tuesday evening, Superintendent Michael Maine and the Martin County School Board celebrated the career of Stuart Middle School's Ms. Mary Noorian. Ms. Noorian has been a Martin County School District educator for 31 years, focusing on computer-related education for most of her career. She started at Warfield Elementary School teaching Computer Lab and transferred to Palm City Elementary School to teach those kiddos how to use the computer. At one point, she helped teachers across the District how to set up and use the Microsoft Office Suite--when email was first introduced! She later worked at Port Salerno Elementary School as a Media Specialist for 14 years, then at Stuart Middle School as a media specialist for the last six years. You name the job or club sponsor; Ms. Noorian has done it! She always went the extra mile to support students, colleagues and parents. Ms. Noorian, we wish you the best in retirement spending time with your grandbabies and puppy. You will be missed! #ALLINMartin👊
