🎉CELEBRATING IMPACTFUL CHANGES🎉
The Environmental Studies Council recently won a $100,000 grant from Impact100 Martin, which will benefit Martin County School District students!
The Council applied for the grant in hopes of renovating the iconic Wet Lab at the one-of-a-kind Environmental Studies Center.
Hundreds of Martin County students visit the Wet Lab every week, where they have a hands-on learning experience about the species in the local ecosystem.
With the $100,000 grant from Impact100 Martin, the Council will be able to replace the pressure-treated wood with a longer-lasting wood composite, install a new AC system, and make the Wet Lab even safer and more comfortable overall for students, wildlife and ESC staff.
Watch a tour of the Wet Lab and learn why the renovation is beneficial: https://youtu.be/DRy7-9-jrvE

🐢🌊CELEBRATING 50 YEARS🐢🌊
For 50 wonderful years, the Environmental Studies Center has been a treasure trove of information and memories for Martin County School District students.
Kids get a plethora of hands-on learning at the ESC, including learning how to test water quality while boating on the Indian River Lagoon, seining for small fish and touching all the different species in the Wet Lab. The ESC is truly a one-of-a-kind gem!
Last night, the ESC celebrated its 50th anniversary at the Elliott Museum-Stuart!

📚CELEBRATING OUR HISTORY📚
As our celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth continues, we spotlight two brothers who were educational pioneers in Martin County, Charles E. and Robert G. Murray.
Charles Murray founded the Stuart Training School in 1926 - this was the county's first high school for Black students. He remained principal until 1939 when his brother, Robert, took over.
Stuart Training School eventually became Spectrum Academy and Murray Middle School was named after the brothers.
