Being an athlete and continuing to earn all As and Bs in the classroom can be quite difficult, but these Hornets make it look like a breeze! Congratulations to our Scholar-Athletes for the 2024-2025 year! 📝🐝📚⭐️

We kicked off our end of the year celebrations at Penderlea with our annual Athletic Banquet. It was a wonderful year of athletics at Penderlea School! 🖤
Thank you to everyone who made this night possible - athletes, coaches, parents, and staff. 😊
Let's Go Hornets! 🐝

Penderlea Coaches are the "berry" best! 🫐
Shoutout to Sunny Soap and Son Rise Farms for our sweet coach gifts!


Kinder and 1st grade students read Invisible scribble and talked about the importance of including others. They then used crayons and watercolor paints to illustrate how no color or person are when everyone works together. One said, "I'm going to hang up my picture so when I feel invisible I will remember I can be seen."







🎉 All-Day Volunteers Still Needed! 🎉
Penderlea's Field Day is almost here, and we still need all-day family volunteers to help run fun activity stations! We're looking for enthusiastic family volunteers to run fun activity stations throughout the day. It’s a great way to support our students, enjoy the outdoors, and be part of the excitement!🏃♂️🏅
Sign up today and help create an unforgettable Field Day for our kids!

This Week's Word of the Week is ARGUMENT. ARGUEMENT means a reason in favor of or against something. See how many times you can use the word at home with your students. #PenderleaIsThePlaceToBe #OnePender #WestsideRising #ExperienceTheExcellence
