Science Olympiad Saturday has arrived! Good luck to our Eagles who have worked so hard for months! Thank you Mrs. Gourley & Mrs. Midgette for heading up this day for MCE! #LearningIsBetterOnSaturdaysSometimes
🎉 Employee Spotlight - Jenny Dixon 🎉
Jenny Dixon, an Occupational Therapy Assistant at MCE, goes above and beyond in everything she does. Loved by all her students, she gives 110% to support them not just in school, but in every aspect of their lives. Her dedication has an enormous impact, and we are so fortunate to have her as part of the OT team in Pender County!
Her creativity and willingness to think outside the box make her an invaluable team member. Always the first to volunteer her time and expertise, Jenny’s passion for her job radiates throughout the department and the lives of everyone she touches.
💬 "Jenny continues to touch so many lives, and we are incredibly grateful for her commitment.”
Thank you, Jenny, for your exceptional dedication! #OnePender
Yesterday, we had the privilege to honor Ms. Madison Snyder as your Beginning Teacher of Promise for Malpass Corner! 🦅
Ms. Snyder will be recognized at the Teacher of the Year Banquet in May as your school's Beginning Teacher of Promise. She also has the opportunity to go through the process for Beginning Teacher of the Year for Pender County Schools which will be named in May at the Teacher of the Year Banquet. The 1st year teacher that gets this recognition for PCS will move onto the State Level process to be considered for the NCCAT North Carolina Beginning Teacher of the Year!
While this is potentially the first step of many, Ms. Snyder, please know that you have accomplished SO many steps already as a Beginning Teacher! This honor is a true testament to the incredible impact you have on your students, your school community. Your passion, hard work, and dedication shine in everything you do! You go above and beyond every day to inspire and challenge your students, helping them grow both academically and personally. Your positive influence is immeasurable and this award is just a small reflection of the huge difference you make in the lives of everyone lucky enough to learn from you. Here's to the well-deserved recognition and all the future students you will continue to inspire! 🌟Congratulations Ms. Snyder!!
Wings flapping! Applause! She is SOARing high! Way to go to our own MCE Eagle for winning the New Hanover County Education Ventures Award at the Regional Science Fair this past Saturday for her love of Science and STEM! Thank you to Mrs. Gourley for supporting her through the Science Fair process. #SchoolHasSoManyOpportunitiesForOurEagles
February 10th-14th Weekly Attendance Update
Part 2 of "Reptile Day" for 1st grade ... was Mrs. Havens sharing her daughter's axolotl. Our little Eagles love axolotls (thanks Minecraft!). Thanks to Ms. Tabitha and Mrs. Havens for sharing their "pets" ... This was a great way for students to make a real life connection to their Wit & Wisdom module in real life! #LearningIsBetterWhenOurTeachersShareTheirPets
Last week, 1st grade had a "Reptile Day" as part of their Wit & Wisdom studies. 1st grade is learning about "creature features" and all the different features animals have. At the Eagles Nest, our own Ms. Tabitha shared her 2 corn snakes and a bearded dragon with the classes! (Stay tune for part 2 of this post...). #LearningIsBetterWhenWeAreTogether #DoYouHaveReptileDayatWork
A few pictures from BETA induction night ... before the ceremony. Last year's BETA inductees were on hand to support the new inductees. And today, the entire BETA team gets to work! 3:00 - 4:00 in the library. Service is one of the BETA pillars #Beingofserviceisbetterwhenwearetogether
More pictures from our BETA induction last night. #SOARingEagles
4th Grade dressed to impress today as they enjoyed a trip to the Wilson Center to listen to the NC Symphony. Afterwards was a perfect day for a park picnic lunch! Thank you to our music teacher, Mrs. Barnes, for organizing this memorable event for our students!
Malpass Corner Elementary held their 24-25 Elementary BETA induction ceremony last night. National BETA has 4 pillars: academic achievement, character, leadership and service. These Eagles have worked hard to meet the National BETA requirements for induction and we are so proud of them. (BETA students - service starts tomorrow after school - 3:00 - 4:00 in the library). #WeAcheiveAlotintheEaglesNest
Last week during Guidance (Social Emotional Learning) with Mrs. Meyer, students in Ms. Stewart’s class made unique puppets for the lesson on managing conflict. Students worked in groups to demonstrate they understand how to solve conflicts by role playing with puppets!

Drummmmmm roll for Eagles of the Week W: (2/3-2/7) who were achievers on the Bus/ at Car Riders. This may have looked like sitting quietly waiting to be called, walking not running to their cone, knowing where to go, watching for their stop, cleaning up their seat, etc. Way to SOAR Eagles. #LearningIsBetterWhenWeAreTogetherBeingSafe
