Million Minute Challenge Kickoff!
Penderlea is excited to join Pender County Schools’ Million Minute Challenge, a districtwide effort to promote reading at home and build a love of literacy across all grade levels. This initiative supports one of Penderlea’s key school goals: improving literacy for all students.
Our school kickoff runs October 27–December 5, and we’re challenging every Hornet to read at home each day and help us reach one million minutes of reading together! Parents reading to their younger students counts, too.
Recommended Daily Reading Time:
K–2: 15–20 minutes | Grades 3–5: 20–30 minutes | Grades 6–8: 30–45 minutes
Families can log minutes using the QR code on the flyer sent home or use this link: https://bit.ly/PLSMMRC
To celebrate our kickoff, we’ll have Storybook Character Day on Friday, October 31st, where students can dress as their favorite book character (must be from a book).
Let’s show that Penderlea is the place to be for growing strong readers and leaders!

Our 1st Grade field trip to the Pumpkin Patch included making butter, learning about Native Americans and how they lived, learning how to tell how many seeds are in a Pumpkin without cutting into it, a hayride around the farm, seeing turtles, meeting and feeding Raisin (donkey) and all the other animals, AND we got to pick our own Pumpkin 🎃! It was a great field trip! Plus we had ice cream!
