🍎LEAVING A LEGACY🍎 Last week, Superintendent Michael Maine and the Martin County School Board celebrated the career of Warfield Elementary School's Ms. Kathy Ahern. Ms. Ahern has been an educator with the Martin County School District for 28 years. Ms. Ahern touched the youngest lives in the District, as she spent most of her career either as a Pre-K teacher or Kindergarten teacher. She is known for creating magic in her room and having incredible patience. Ms. Ahern inspired colleagues while working at Warfield Elementary School and Port Salerno Elementary School. "Mrs. Ahern is an outstanding teacher, colleague, mentor and friend. She leaves a legacy of dedication and passion for education behind and she will truly be missed," Warfield Principal Cristina Smith said. Mrs. Ahern, we wish you the best in retirement! Thank you for helping educate ALL Martin County School District students for the last 28 years. #ALLINMartin👊

🍎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👊
