⭐ Visit your local library.
⭐ Read with a family member.
⭐ Talk about your favorite books together.
Who knows? You may discover a story you'll never forget!

We can't wait to see our Dolphins Rise One Wave at a Time through the power of reading! 🌊💙
📚 The countdown is on—just 38 days until students on our traditional calendar return to school on Monday, August 24!
As we prepare for the 2026–27 school year, families are asked to complete their student’s Beginning of Year Information Update. This update is not required for newly enrolled students.
Keeping contact and emergency information current helps ensure a safe, smooth and successful start from day one.
We can’t wait to welcome our students back! 🚌✏️🏫
Please visit the PCS Enrollment page @ pender.k12.nc.us/enroll! We can't wait to meet the new members of our Dolphin family!
We are SO PROUD of the amazing growth that our students achieved this school year! Help prevent the summer slide by encouraging your child to read each day!
Disco wants to remind our NTE Dolphins that reading isn't just for school—it's an adventure that can take you anywhere! 🐬💙

Cameron is a 2nd grader at North Topsail Elementary, recognized for leadership, inclusion, and awareness.
Cameron recently stood out for how he handled a situation with classmates. After noticing a peer being bullied, he encouraged other students to look out for that classmate. He also took time to talk privately with both students involved and helped guide a conversation where the situation was addressed and resolved.
In general, Cameron looks out for others throughout the school day. He includes classmates, checks on students who seem upset, and helps when someone needs it. Staff and peers see him as someone who treats others with respect and tries to do the right thing.
Outside of school, Cameron enjoys baseball ⚾, basketball 🏀, soccer ⚽, and spending time playing with friends. His favorite foods are cheeseburgers 🍔 and pizza 🍕, and his favorite colors are black and red 🖤❤️.
One interesting fact—Cameron is ambidextrous, meaning he can use both his arms and legs equally well.
❤️ Thank you, Cameron, for the example you set at North Topsail Elementary.
Ms. Wells teaches at North Topsail Elementary. A student shared that she has made learning feel more comfortable through her kindness and the way she supports her class each day.
What stands out most is her patience and the way she treats students. She takes time to explain things clearly when students are having trouble and makes sure they understand before moving on.
In the nomination, the student shared that Ms. Wells has always been kind and helpful during lessons. When something is confusing, she works through it with them so they can feel more confident.
Thank you, Ms. Wells, for the care and support you provide to your students at North Topsail Elementary. 💛✅
