Plantation Key School (PKS) 4th grade teacher, Monica Horsley, is Monroe County School District’s (MCSD) Teacher of the Year (TOY). Superintendent Theresa Axford made the announcement in person today with a surprise presentation in front of Horsley’s class of jubilant students. Horsley, a veteran teacher who has been teaching at PKS since 2016, responded with tears of joy, stating that she was “honored to represent all of the outstanding teachers at PKS and throughout the Monroe County School district.” All PKS teachers were able to watch the good news being delivered virtually via TEAMS. Horsley was chosen from a talented pool of MCSD school level Teachers of the Year by a committee comprised of administrators, curriculum team members and former school level teachers of the year, for her outstanding contributions in the classroom, school, and community. Candidates are judged on instruction, data, school/community involvement, recommendation letters, as well as rigorous critique of a video of a lesson.

Keys Energy Services recently donated backpacks to the Monroe County School District. The 2,400 backpacks will be used county-wide to help tackle the issue of food insecurity with students and their families. "These are bags we would normally have given out at community events," said Keys Energy spokesperson Julio Torrado. "Since many of these events were canceled due to the pandemic, we thought this was a great way to use them. Food insecurity in our community should be something we are all concerned about," he said.
Last week was Red Ribbon Week and while it looked different this year, Marathon High School still celebrated! There were two socially distanced proclamation events (for A-Day and B-Day students).
