📚CELEBRATING OUR HISTORY📚 We feel extremely fortunate to have had the honor of listening to Ms. Thelma Washington, Executive Director of the Gertrude Walden Child Care Center, recite the ABCs of Black History in Martin County! Watch: https://youtu.be/2SswaOPKipM #BlackHistoryMonth #ALLINMartin👊

Kindness and compassion are meant to be shared today and every day. Happy #ValentinesDay, Martin County! #ALLINMartin💓

Our thoughts remain with Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Broward County Public Schools and the City of Parkland as we remember the 17 lives lost and many more who were injured during a senseless tragedy four years ago. We will never forget. #MSDStrong🦅

Every child is one caring adult away from being a success story. Thank you to all of our outstanding school counselors for "being the one" for our students. #ALLINMartin👊#NSCW22
