Check-in and a continental breakfast begin at 9 a.m. and morning play starts at 10:30 a.m. followed by a luncheon at 12:30 p.m. Play will resume at 1:30 p.m. followed by an awards presentation.

We love bringing learning to life! Last week, middle students across the Martin County School District participated in our Re-Engineering Algebra program. Students were introduced to the engineering field while learning how to work in pairs to design SAFE and EFFICIENT traffic patterns using only a pencil (with a really good eraser), paper, and a basic function calculator.
This program answers the questions some of us probably asked growing up, such as "Why do I need to learn algebra?” and “When am I ever going to use it?”
Our students are tackling everyday problems and developing solutions while having fun! They don’t even realize all the learning that’s taking place.
A huge shout-out to all Education Foundation of Martin County supporters who make these types of programs possible within our schools! Donations are being matched dollar for dollar by the School District Education Foundation Matching Grant Program funded by the FL Legislature.
We can’t make programs like this possible without your support! Thank you! A special thanks to Paige McMahon and Nicole Golden for their assistance in coordinating the schedule and providing support!
If you are interested in investing in our Martin County students and teachers, please reach out to the EFMC at 772-600-8062. |
