📚🍟 Fries for School Supplies is Back! 🍟📚
We are excited to announce that for the second year in a row, our local McDonald’s owner-operators are hosting the Fries for School Supplies fundraiser in our school district!
Last year, over $110,000 was raised for our area schools, and we’re aiming to do even more this year! 🎉
From August 26th to 30th, McDonald’s will donate 10% of sales from all a la carte Fries to help support our schools. It’s a delicious way to contribute to our community! 🙌

Cape Fear Elementary achieved their heart safe designation this week. We are officially a heart safe school!

We had an incredible Open House! We are ready for the 2024-2025 school year! Let's go CFE! 💙







✂️ Back-to-School Haircuts! ✂️
Cape Fear Community College is offering free haircuts this Saturday, August 24, from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Barber School located at 108 Walnut St.
No appointments needed—just walk in! All haircuts will be supervised by a licensed instructor and are first-come, first-served. Remember, students under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Get ready for the new school year with a fresh look!

CFE kicked off the school year along with all of PCS today at Convocation with excitement and learning to guarantee a great school year. #onepender

As we come together to kick off the new school year, we are proud to highlight the outstanding contributions of our Principal of the Year, Dr. Sonya Oates, and our Teacher of the Year, Megan Justice. 🌟
During this year's convocation, Dr. Oates and Ms. Justice took the stage to inspire and motivate our educators, reminding us all of the incredible impact that teaching has on our students' lives. Their words set the tone for a year of collaboration, growth, and dedication across the district.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for this celebration and to all our staff for their unwavering commitment to excellence. Here's to a fantastic year ahead filled with success, learning, and community spirit! 💙 #OnePender
