Mrs. Soles's fifth grade students recently completed a Binary Code Ornament in correlation with the Hour of Code Week. Before creating their ornaments, they explored how the Binary Code system of the alphabet and simple numbers work in the digital world. Students practiced coding on paper using their names and then creating sentences for their partner to decipher. To close out the week, students strung colored beads to create a wreath ornament that mimics the Binary Code pattern of their initials.

Hundreds of essays are received for each category and only one winner and two honorable mentions are selected. For the elementary level topic, students were to choose one product that is made from or with wood and explain how does it help society, why it is important, and how would your life change if this product did not exist. We are proud to announce that North Topsail's 5th grade student, Graham Nutt received an honorable mention on his essay regarding The Importance of Sunscreen, along with a trophy and certificate. Congratulations Graham! Your Dolphin Family is so very proud of you! #experiencetheexcellence @bradbreedlove90
