🍎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
