3rd-grade classes at CAST were selected to be part of a community service project created by the Indian River County 4-H Club, HomeGrown. Their service project is to encourage kids to spend more face-to-face time with each other and less screen time together. The club received an overwhelming number of donated brand-new board and card games; so much so, that EVERY 3rd-grade student received their own brand-new game. We are hoping that the kids can enjoy playing their new game with friends and family, especially during their extended break.

We are truly blessed at Northport. Pastor Brian, Deacon Rad, and others from our First United Methodist Church of Port St. Lucie community partners gave a day of service to our school. We are beautiful and wondrously freshly painted and cleaned. ❤ Northport appreciates all who supported the effort!

To celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss and Read Across America, community members visited F.K. Sweet Elementary to read to primary grades students.  Local attorney and former parent Steve Hoskins is having fun reading to students in Sandy Picano’s kindergarten class.

Sweet had a busy week studying Community Helpers.  Each day they had members of our community visit the school to share how they help us.  Officer Pratt from the Port St. Lucie Police Department shared his gear and discussed safety tips.  Melanie Francisco’s class especially liked the flashing lights and loud sirens from his awesome patrol car.
