💗 CHARACTER COUNTS! 💗
In partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County, the Martin County School District is proud to announce the revitalization of an important program that will contribute to #MCSDTheRippleEffect and reframe how mental wellness support is delivered to students.
"Character Counts! is not new to the Martin County School District," Superintendent John D. Millay shared during a kickoff event held at the Palm City Chamber of Commerce last week. "When I say we're revitalizing it, we're bringing it front and center."

🎉ICYMI: HISPANIC HERITAGE CELEBRATIONS🎉
Hispanic Heritage Month officially ended Oct. 15, but we wanted to take a moment and highlight some of the fantastic festivities Martin County School District families and staff hosted to celebrate the beautiful Hispanic cultures within the District!
SeaWind Elementary, Warfield Elementary and Port Salerno Elementary all recently held Hispanic Heritage Night. Students and their families participated in crafts like making traditional Guatemalan or Peruvian dolls, watched beautiful dances, ate delicious food and learned about different Hispanic cultures! It was amazing to see families dressed in intricate and colorful traditional clothing!
At the MCSD Central Office, Instructional Services staff celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by hosting their own potluck fiesta!

🚨SAFETY FIRST🚨
Families - please ensure your child wears their school-issued ID badge daily. These ID badges are an essential component of our overall safety plan. In addition, your child's badge allows them to easily perform certain school-related functions, such as boarding/exiting their school bus, purchasing meals or checking out materials from the media center.
If your child needs a new badge, please contact their school.

🐬CELEBRATING DIVERSITY, PROMOTING UNITY🐬
Members of the Jensen Beach High School Varsity Football Team recently stepped up in a big way, and their support was noticed and greatly appreciated by the SeaWind Elementary - Hobe Sound, FL family!
At Family Heritage Night, Coach Melvin Phillips and Coach Tim Caffey, along with seniors Malachi Harriel and Jamari Graves, spent the evening with SeaWind Elementary families serving up delicious cultural cuisine, friendly conversation, and smiles that lit up the room!
Principal Jen Michels said this type of real-life mentoring is the most valuable gift we can give our young students. SeaWind Dolphins were beaming as JBHS Falcon leaders and role models shared their stories and provided words of encouragement and inspiration.
"These gentlemen gave of their time in this most genuine and sincerely appreciated act of service," Principal Michels said.
Principal Michels also gives credit to Principal Lori Vogel, saying, "From one school leader to another, thank you for creating ripples that extend far beyond your school walls and beyond the football field. Our school theme this year is Fins Family… One Team, One Dream! Thank you to all of your Falcons for helping us push toward our goals. GO FALCONS!"
We ❤️love❤️ seeing our schools support each other and show what it means to be #ALLINMartin👊
