🚨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. #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

This program focused on the mangrove community of the Indian River Lagoon. Students worked on study materials at school prior to their scheduled field trip. Students learned about the mangroves through a hands-on learning experience. As part of their field work students went waist deep into the water in the Indian River Lagoon while investigating the mangroves.

Most of all, we remember the devotion and gallantry with which all of them ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause." - Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States of America #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud #VeteransDay
