โญCELEBRATING GOOD CHARACTERโญ

It's Character Counts! Week, and in the Martin County School District, we are proud to recognize the importance of good character in shaping future leaders and building strong, respectful communities.

Grounded in the six pillars of Characterโ€”trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenshipโ€”our students are learning that excellence isnโ€™t just about achievement, but about integrity and heart. ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿพ Bulldog Spotlight: Olivia Hernandez-Gonzalez! ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽ‰

Weโ€™re so proud of sophomore Bulldog Olivia Hernandez-Gonzalez, who shared her inspiring experience with her Social Skills class yesterday! ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Using her incredible animation skills, Olivia created a short animated film illustrating her journey from feeling nervous about starting high school last year to finding confidence and friendship through her Social Skills class with Ms. Skarban. ๐Ÿ’ชโœจ

She highlighted the impact of Ms. Skarbanโ€™s weekly โ€œGrow and Glowโ€ activity ๐ŸŒฑโ€” where each student reflects on the good and areas for growth from the past week โ€” along with the daily conversations that allow students to be open and vulnerable while building confidence in class. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Oliviaโ€™s bravery, creativity, and leadership were recognized as she received a Certificate of Achievement from the district for Exceptional Self-Advocacy and for โ€œdemonstrating enthusiasm in promoting the Unique Social Skills program. Your leadership, voice, and initiative have made a lasting impact on our school community.โ€ ๐Ÿ™Œ

Way to go, Olivia โ€” you are a shining example of Bulldog confidence and heart! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ–ค
