🎓#MCSDSENIORSTORIES🎓 This afternoon, we are shining a spotlight on South Fork High School senior Ava Martucci! "My daughter, Ava Martucci, has remained top 1% of her class for four years," proud mom Ruth shared. "Not only is she involved as the south fork NHS president, SNHS activities director, peer forward Captain, Varsity Cheerleading captain, and possessed a internship with a City of Stuart attorney. As a sophomore, she created her own chapter of Becca's closet, a nonprofit organization collecting and donating prom dresses and suits to individuals facing financially difficulty. She partnered with a district social worker and has extended Becca's closets influence into multiple districts, including Saint Lucie and Palm Beach. Each year she has donated 100+ dresses via her website and instagram. She has worked as a waitress and hostess for two years at Nancy’s Pizza and received eight scholarships in one night at South Fork's scholarship night, totaling over 15 scholarships in her senior and junior years combined. She was also named South Fork's Student Volunteer of the Year. I am so proud of what she has accomplished and how she has remained so dedicated even after the loss of her father in 2016. Go gators, and I am so proud of you, Ava." Ava plans to attend the University of Florida, majoring in Philosophy and Spanish, on a Pre-Law track with the end goal of becoming an International Human Rights Attorney. 🎉Congratulations, Ava! 🎉 We are so proud of you!

🍎LEAVING A LEGACY🍎 Last week, Superintendent Michael Maine and the Martin County School Board celebrated the career of South Fork High School's Ms. Veronica Labianca. Ms. Labianca served as an Exceptional Student Education Paraprofessional but did so much more than just teach in her 31 years. She was the face of Bulldog Athletics, as she was often helping out in the ticket booth at many sporting events. She loved cheering on students and faculty in and out of the classroom. Ms. Labianca helps students excel and succeed in multiple aspects of their lives. She often says her job was to teach the kids, but they actually taught her. Ms. Labianca, thank you for your unconditional care for SFHS students. We wish you the best in retirement! #ALLINMartin👊
