Hobe Sound Elementary School

📖 IGNITING LITERACY LEADERSHIP 📖 Assistant Principal Nicole Bagley (Port Salerno Elementary School), Assistant Principal Crystal Grauer (Warfield Elementary School), and Principal Trisha Elliott (Hobe Sound Elementary School) recently represented the Martin County School District at the Literacy Leadership Conference, hosted by The Florida Center for Reading Research. This dynamic program equips school leaders with evidence-based tools and strategies to elevate literacy practices in classrooms, driving meaningful change and fostering student success. Professional development like this helps create brighter futures for every student in Martin County. We can’t wait to see the impact these leaders will make as they bring these innovative strategies back to our schools! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD #IgniteTogetherMCSD🔥
