๐ What an AMAZING STREAM Night at Felix A. Williams Elementary! ๐
Thank you to all our families, students, and staff who joined us for an evening packed with Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math fun!
Our campus was buzzing with curiosity and creativity, from handsโon experiments and building challenges to tech explorations, art stations, and interactive reading activities. Watching our students light up as they learned, built, discovered, and created was truly the highlight of the night. โจ
A huge shoutโout to our incredible FAWE teachers and volunteers who made this night possible, and to our families for always supporting learning in such joyful ways. ๐
Events like this remind us how powerful it is when our school community comes together to celebrate learning. We canโt wait for the next one!

A huge thank you to the Education Foundation of Martin County for supporting our Oral Language portion of Language Arts! ๐ฌ๐
By this time of year, so many of our students are confidently using the Purposeful Language Acquisition Yields Success approachโusing realโlife language and teamwork to solve problemsโฆ even during Spring cleaning fun! ๐งผ๐งน
Parents will be thrilled to know their children got handsโon experience with mopping, sweeping, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, andโbelieve it or notโthe class favoriteโฆ doing laundry and ironing! ๐โจ
What makes this even more amazing is the growth weโve seen: at the start of the year, many students played sideโbyโside without interacting. Now theyโre communicating, collaborating, using their words to work through challenges, and truly playing together. โค๏ธ
The progress has been incredible to watch, and we are so grateful. Without EFMC, this level of interaction and learning would have been so much harder to achieve!
So proud of our students and so thankful for this support! ๐

๐ Kindergarten Engineers at Work! ๐๏ธโจ
Our Felix A. Williams kindergarteners had an amazing time in the PLAYS Lab as they explored a hands-on construction challenge!
Students worked together to plan, build, and problemโsolve just like real professionals in the field. We talked about the important jobs that make construction possible, including electricians, project managers, and planners, and our young learners stepped right into those roles with teamwork and creativity.
From drawing blueprints to collaborating on structures, these little builders showed big imagination and even bigger perseverance. Weโre so proud of how they communicated, shared ideas, and brought their designs to life!
๐ง๐ทโโ๏ธ Future creators, innovators, and community builders- right here at FAWE! ๐๐
