🐝ICYMI: STELLAR SPELLERS SHINE🐝
The Martin County School District recently held the 57th Annual Lillian A. Dassori Elementary Spelling Bee at Jensen Beach High School.
Students from all twelve of the District's elementary schools participated in seven rounds of competition, tackling tough words such as '"aardvark," "anathema," and "celestial."
The winner of the Bee, Olivia Priddy from SeaWind Elementary - Hobe Sound, FL, nailed the winning word, "eschew."

🚍SERVICE WITH A SMILE🚍
Receiving a happy gram about one of our outstanding Team MCSD members sets the tone for the entire day!
This morning, a parent messaged us to share what a great experience her family has had with Mr. Emmanuel Brutus, who serves Port Salerno Elementary School.
"The gentleman that drives this route is absolutely wonderful," the parent shared. "He's very kind and patient with the kids."
Thank you for your commitment to safely transporting our students to and from school, Mr. Brutus!

🚨LAW ENFORCEMENT ALERT FOR FAMILIES🚨
The Martin County Sheriff's Office is actively enforcing laws about the operation of unregistered golf carts in our community, particularly near school campuses. Golf carts are only permitted on roads with a maximum 35 mph speed limit, and that’s only if they are titled, registered, insured and have all the appropriate safety measures to make them street legal. Please be mindful of these regulations, as deputies will issue citations for violations.

📞CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW📞
For their sound energy unit, Ms. Zilly's fifth grade class at Port Salerno Elementary School read "Horton Hears a Who." The students wondered why everyone couldn’t hear The Whos like Horton could, so students investigated sound energy.
Students made and experimented with string telephones and found evidence that sound travels through vibrations! They wrote letters to Horton explaining sound energy and how it travels.
