📚✨ AVID SPOTLIGHT! ✨📚 Today, Coach Cruz’s 8th Grade AVID class took a moment to reflect on the skills they’ve learned and how AVID is helping them grow as students! 💙🧡 From organization to collaboration, goal-setting, and beyond—these Jaguars are building skills for success! 🐆🎓 Check them out! 👀💪

Learning about Earth’s Geosphere… with OREOS!  Students in Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Ryan's 7th grade science classes got hands-on while exploring the layers of Earth’s geosphere! Using an Oreo as their model, students represented each layer: Crust: the Oreo cookie, Mantle: the icing, Liquid Outer Core: the chocolate syrup,  and Solid Inner Core: an M&M.  This tasty model helped students visualize and understand the different layers of Earth while preparing for today’s science quiz!

🍿✨ CONGRATULATIONS, TOP SELLERS! ✨🍿 A huge ROAR to our amazing students who went above and beyond during the Double Good Popcorn Fundraiser! 🐆💙🧡 A special THANK YOU to our SMS PTSA for hosting this fundraiser and supporting our Jaguar family! 💙🧡 We are so proud of our TOP SELLERS! 🎉🍿

Today we celebrate AVID Day, joining schools across the country in recognizing the impact
of educators and students working together to expand access and opportunity.

At Stuart Middle School, AVID strengthens skills like critical thinking, organization,
collaboration, and self-advocacy, helping students prepare for college, careers, and
beyond.

We are proud of the growth we see every day and grateful for the shared commitment that
makes it possible.

🇺🇸CELEBRATING CONSTITUTION WEEK🇺🇸

Constitution Week officially begins on September 17, but Martin County School District students are already getting a head start!

Further highlighting the importance of this annual observance, the Martin County School Board approved the 2026 Constitution Week Proclamation at Tuesday night's meeting, developed with Ms. Rae Scimeca and the Halpatiokee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

As we recognize the 239th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution, students across the District will spend the week learning about the document that continues to shape our nation and protect our freedoms.

The Martin County School Board has officially proclaimed September 25, 2026, as Dolly Parton Day throughout the Martin County School District! 💓📖

The day celebrates Dolly Parton’s remarkable contributions to children and literacy, along with the impact of programs like Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in helping young readers build a lifelong love of books.

Science is SWEET! Students in Mrs. Ryan and Mrs. Jones’s classes got to dig into Earth science, literally! They used M&M’s and Milky Ways to create tasty models representing the layers of Earth’s interior. From the crust to the core, students modeled Earth’s different layers while exploring how scientists use models to better understand things we can’t see firsthand. Who knew learning about Earth’s interior could be so delicious?

Here is this weeks events on campus! 🧡💙🐾

🇺🇸 Remembering the Heroes of 9/11 🇺🇸 Mrs. Koehler’s students took time to reflect, remember, and honor the courage, sacrifice, and service shown on September 11, 2001. Through a meaningful paper-chain activity, each student added an act of courage or kindness—creating a powerful reminder that small acts can make a big difference when we come together. ❤️ We Remember.
