🚀 AVID Elective Students Soar in Reindeer Racing Balloon STEAM Challenge! 🦌✨ 🌍 Exploring the global excitement of reindeer racing, our AVID elective students dove into a thrilling Balloon STEAM Challenge! 🚀 From Lapland to Alaska, they discovered the unique traditions and techniques that make reindeer racing a spectacle around the world. 🔍 In this hands-on lesson, our future engineers and scientists crafted their very own balloon reindeer rockets, ready to dash toward the finish line! 🎈🦌 The challenge not only fueled their creativity but also ignited a passion for understanding the principles of thrust and friction in action. 🚀💨 As the balloon reindeer rockets took flight, students experienced firsthand the incredible force of Newton's 3rd law of motion! 🔄💫 Excitement and laughter filled the room as these young minds witnessed their creations zooming towards victory. #MCSDwinterspirit

🐾⚽️ A WIN FOR THE ANIMALS⚽️🐾 Last night was no ordinary soccer game between South Fork High School and Martin County High School's girls' varsity teams. Student-athletes came up with the idea to waive the entrance fee for all spectators who brought an animal toy or food. It was a huge success! All the toys and food will be donated to the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast! The game ended in a scoreless tie, but the players and community came out with an extraordinary win! Both teams posed for this celebratory picture after the game. ⚽️🐾🐅 Way to go, Bulldogs and Tigers! We are #MCSDBetterTogether! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud
