🇺🇸CELEBRATING CONSTITUTION WEEK🇺🇸
Students across the Martin County School District are gaining a wealth of knowledge about the U.S. Constitution from their teachers, local judges, and attorneys this week.
🇺🇸 Attorney Christine Moreno presented yesterday to fifth-grade students at SeaWind Elementary - Hobe Sound, FL. She demonstrated how a bill becomes law.
🇺🇸 Judge Alan Forst visited South Fork High School social studies students and took a deep dive into Article V of the Constitution, which describes the process for altering the historic document, like adding amendments.
🇺🇸 Attorneys Kathryn McHale and Jessica Van Valkenberg were impressed Hobe Sound Elementary School's students in Mrs. Cuscak's classroom! They were very knowledgeable about the U.S. Constitution.
Thank you to our guest speakers for providing invaluable insight on the document laying the foundation for our great nation during #ConstitutionWeek2023!

🇺🇸CELEBRATE FREEDOM WEEK🇺🇸
The Florida Legislature has designated the last full week in September as "Celebrate Freedom Week." During this special week, the Martin County School District will proudly incorporate meaningful activities and lessons to reinforce the principles our nation was founded on. 🇺🇸📖
Celebrate Freedom Week highlights the significance of the Declaration of Independence. Through our social studies classes, students will participate in an age-appropriate in-depth student of the intent, meaning and importance of the Declaration of Independence. Each morning throughout the week, students will recite the following words of the Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Families that do not wish to have their child participate in the oral recitation of the Declaration of Independence must provide written notice to their school no later than Friday morning, September 22.
