MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

🎼ALL IN FOR A CAPPELLA🎼 ACA-MAZING! As part of its efforts to promote the arts and opportunities available to students after high school, the Education Foundation of Martin County brought America's oldest underclassman a cappella group - The Yale Spizzwinks(?)- to perform for students at Murray Middle School and Martin County High School! Since 1914, the Spizzwinks(?) have entertained audiences around the world with their unique blend of sweet harmony and tongue-in-cheek humor. Martin Schools TV was there to capture their performance at MCHS, which was extremely well-received by students. Watch: https://youtu.be/oHJgCLQ6dFQ #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

🍎LEAVING A LASTING LEGACY🍎 Last evening, Superintendent John D. Millay and the Martin County School Board celebrated the career of Nicolasa "Nico" Martinez, Home School Liaison at Warfield Elementary School. A 46-year resident of the Village of Indiantown, Ms. Martinez has proudly served the students and families of Warfield Elementary for 32 years. In that time, she's made Warfield her home in every sense of the word - her daughter, Valerie, works alongside her in the front office and six of her grandchildren have attended the school! "Nico is kind-hearted, compassionate and goes above and beyond to make sure all needs are met for our students and families," Principal Crissy Smith shared. "She leaves a legacy of dedication and passion for students, families and the Indiantown community, and will be greatly missed." We wish Ms. Martinez all the best in her retirement and hope she'll continue to share photos with us as she travels the world! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

🛠CONSTRUCTING SUCCESS🛠 South Fork High School senior Jesus Miguel-Diego was named the 2021-2022 Career & Technical Education (CTE) Student of the Year last month! Growing up in the Village of Indiantown, Jesus was excited to take advantage of the many CTE opportunities available to students at SFHS. He settled on the Building Construction and HVAC academies and admits his experiences in both programs have made him feel like he might have discovered his future career path. "I never thought I would be in this class or would want to consider this as my major," he shared. "But when I came here, I saw the different things that we can do. I'm going to go to college and maybe go [into] the construction business." Watch the video: https://youtu.be/VA-ZCNJoOq0 #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

🔬🏆CELEBRATING A SCIENCE CHAMPION🔬🏆 Varun Singh, an eighth-grader at Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School, earned the USAID - US Agency for International Development's Science Champion Award for his science fair project titled "Are You in My Hotspot?" For his project, Varun created a prototype that can record a person's body temperature without bodily contact while also detecting people that may have come into contact with them. The prototype works by scanning RFID-enabled lanyards and is designed for school or office settings. "This project can be implemented in schools, where students can be scanned either on the bus or at the school entrance, and can be advised whether they may enter the school," Varun wrote as part of the abstract for his project. "In addition, hospitals can use this project and find nurses and doctors that came into contact with certain patients, further enhancing safety. Any business or workplace that wants to track the whereabouts of their employees to keep them safe can use this prototype." We can't wait to see where Varun's next impactful idea and research will take him! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud #GlobalDev #STEM

🌊#BEACHBUILT: COMING FULL CIRCLE🌊 What is meant to be will always find its way - this story will make even the biggest of skeptics a believer! Jensen Beach High School claimed its first-ever traditional Class 1A State Wrestling Championship this year, an achievement that had been many years in the making for three coaches who share deep roots. For RJ Costello (Athletic Director), Mike Sawtelle (teacher and coach) and Tom McMath (teacher and coach), the journey began many years ago at their shared alma mater - West Virginia University. They each found success as members of WVU's wrestling team before reuniting in Martin County to mold generations of young scholar-athletes. "There was a reason for every single one of us to be here [at Jensen Beach High]," Coach Sawtelle shared.
