🎷🎶 The SMS Jazz Band Hit the Road! 🎶🎷
Our SMS Jazz Band took a special recruiting trip to visit the JBE Vikings, giving them a taste of what our amazing band program is all about with a lively performance! 🎺🥁🎼
The morning got even more special when JBE’s very own Mr. Scrobinski (and proud SMS alum!) jumped in to join the band for a tune! 🎷👏
It was an incredible morning full of music, smiles, and Jaguar pride. We hope to see some future band members from JBE joining the SMS stage soon! 🎶🐆✨

On Sunday, March 1st, our own Mr. Michael Hiatt from Stuart Middle School, hosted their inaugural Martin County SeaPerch Invitational Event ~ SeaPerch is a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), a competition, and a community ~ the program guides students on building an underwater robot while supplying educators with the tools and training to help them through the process. Mr. Hiatt instructs the Exploration of Aerospace, Engineering and Honors
Engineering programs, runs the chess club and is a Civil Air Patrol AEM Member, in addition to leading their SeaPerch club. This unique competition, held at the Stuart YMCA pool, showcased three (3) SMS teams and two (2) teams from the Boynton Aerospace Science Academy (charter high school) - who’s students were truly exceptional and we are grateful for their guidance and mentorship provided to our SMS student teams, who are very new to this emerging community. Additionally, we would like to extend a sincere thank‑you to the JBHS AF
JROTC for their outstanding assistance in judging both the mission course and the obstacle course. Their support played a major role in making the event a success. We were also joined by two members from the IRSC Advanced Manufacturing / Engineering programs who were offering support and guanidine. The results are being tabulated this week, and the overall winner will be announced soon, followed by special trophies and celebratory pizza! One of
our SMS teams is vying for a spot at the National Competition, later this spring, in Maryland. Hat’s off for Mr. Hiatt and the SMS team for their successful inaugural event!

Martin Mentors helping New Teachers
Today, teachers from across the Martin County School District came together at Stuart Middle School to learn and grow as educators!
We had an incredible professional learning session led by our very own Monica Pool & Cassie Mailhot, who shared practical and powerful strategies for creating effective classroom structures. From establishing clear routines and expectations to using timers, small groups, and purposeful check-ins, teachers walked away with tools they can implement right away to support student engagement and success.
It’s inspiring to see educators dedicating their time to sharpening their craft and collaborating with one another — all for the benefit of our students. Thank you, Cassie, for leading such an impactful session and for investing in the continued excellence of our classrooms!
