The Pinewood Elementary 3rd-grader Harper had a busy summer full of fun, excitement and family time!
She attended a dance convention, went to Universal Orlando Resort with her family, and then traveled to North Carolina to Great Wolf Lodge, SEA LIFE Aquarium and Discovery Place Science for a week of fun with her cousins.

🍎ASPIRING TO GROW AS LEADERS🍎
Ten Martin County School District educators have earned their School Principal Certification after attending the Aspiring Principal Academy.
Their journey started last summer during a two-week-long intensive and continued throughout the past year. During this academy, these aspiring principals had quarterly site visits and full-day learning sessions. They also implemented a "change project" at their schools. The Professional Development team created this academy with the goal of building an innovative, rigorous, practical and comprehensive, collaborative and reflective program to help prepare these educators to be future principals. Each educator finished the program as an even stronger leader.
Congratulations to the following assistant principals and principals:
🍎Ed Geiger, South Fork High School
🍎Aimee Morell, Pinewood Elementary
🍎Stacy Reese, Jensen Beach High School
🍎Kelli Siters, Martin County High School
🍎Trisha Elliott, Hidden Oaks Middle School
🍎Lauren Rabener, Palm City Elementary School
🍎Tiffany Roth, Bessey Creek Elementary School
🍎Dayna Carroll, SeaWind Elementary - Hobe Sound, FL
🍎Jennifer Parker, Crystal Lake Elementary School
