☀️🌊#MCSDSummerAdventures☀️🌊 Martin County School District students Kendall and Collin Wintercorn took their summer adventures to the nation's capital! Did you know, more than 9,000 trees are located on the National Mall; nearly 2,300 are American elm trees, which North American settlers named “the Lady of the Forest.” These elm trees line the length of the National Mall, helping to frame the views between the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol. #ALLINMartin👊

"Shout out to Mrs. Carbaugh for being the best kindergarten teacher in the universe," grateful parent Loren Esposito shared.

🍎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👊
