What started as a typical summer day turned into a cute and inspiring animal rescue at Martin County High School—and yes, we’ve got photos!
Last week, camp counselor Ana Gonzalez noticed a mama duck in distress after her babies had fallen into a storm drain.
Enter our real-life heroes: Ray Williams (MCHS 2024-25 School-Related Employee of the Year!) and plant manager Brett Hawkins, who climbed down into the drain to rescue the ducklings and reunite them with their very relieved mom.
Ms. Dervin’s photography campers caught the whole rescue on camera! Shout-out to Kylie Resch and Ana Allen for capturing the winning shots. Kylie is pictured here with one of the rescued ducklings. 🦆
Just another day of going #ALLINMartin👊, even for our campus wildlife!
