Cardboard Boat Race at Martin County High School Pool!
To kick off the event, the Principal and Media Specialist of each school raced. Awards included an Overall Fastest team award and first, second, and third place winners for each school. In addition each school had a Titanic award and Spirit award.
The finale was a race between Michelle Heath, STEM lab teacher at Pinewood, and her cohort Jackie Brownie, STEM Lab Teacher at J.D. Parker, in some very small cardboard boxes. The finale was enjoyed by all, eliciting more than a few laughs!
Michelle Heath states, "When we started this project, we didn’t know what to expect and I admit I was so impressed with the creativity and positivism of both schools. Our number one goal was to encourage family fun and teamwork in the name of STEM. I feel quite confident that was achieved and I can’t wait until next year. However, I think this idea is going to spread and you might see another boat race from some other elementary schools in Stuart coming soon."

Civics Bowl at Anderson Middle School!
Kudos to the 7th grade students from Ms. Ortner, Ms. Oughterson, and Ms. Register's classes who participated in the Civics Bowl. These students demonstrated a great command of their subject, and the competition was fierce!
A special commendation goes out to the Black Ghosts team from Ms. Ortner's class. They were the champions! Team members were Hannah Roebuck, Ryan Stone & Lisamarie Cruz. The Cheetahs team from Ms. Oughterson's class came in a close second. Jaime Kent, Michael Kozik-Brown and Aurora Stone were on the Cheetahs team.
We applaud all of these students and their teachers for a very successful Civics Bowl!
A special thanks to Ms. Boyar and Ms. Neel for serving as judges, and Ms. McMurry and Ms. Piasecki for coordinating this terrific event. The AMS PTSA provided $25 gift cards for the three students on Ms. Ortner's Black Ghosts team.
