❤️CELEBRATING OUTSTANDING WOMEN❤️
We're honored to celebrate the many women who make the Martin County School District an exceptional place to educate all students for success!

🍎CELEBRATING SCHOOL SOCIAL WORKERS🍎
The Martin County School District is proud to celebrate our school social service workers in honor of National School Social Work Week!
Our School Social Service Workers are essential members of Team MCSD - they assist children, families, faculty and staff in creating a healthy and positive learning environment for all. They work tirelessly to identify and provide services to students (and their families) who face serious barriers to success, including poverty, disabilities, abuse, addiction and the loss of loved ones. We appreciate their professionalism, compassion and commitment to our students, families and schools!

🍽CELEBRATING HEALTHY CHOICES🍽
Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast. Fortunately, the Martin County School District offers nutritious school breakfasts, complete with fruit and low-fat or fat-free milk, to ensure students are fueled for learning every school day! 🥛🍎🍌🥞🥯
This year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is allowing all children to receive school breakfast and lunch for free, without an application, so it’s a great time for families to give school breakfast a try.
The District's Food & Nutrition Services professionals and students will be encouraged to show their enthusiasm for school breakfast from March 7-11 as the district celebrates #NSBW22 with special menus, activities, and more!

🍎EDUCATING ALL STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS🍎
In life - and in school- students' questions often go unasked. MCSD's free, online tutoring platform ensures all middle and high school students have access to expert instructors across hundreds of subject areas 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Students can even receive support and feedback as they work on essays, reports and scholarship applications.
Your child can access this free service by signing in to ClassLink with their District credentials and clicking the "Paper" app. Click the following link to learn more: https://youtu.be/lNsH9J6hYN4
