Morning Bell Brain Busters with Mrs Jones and Mrs Fennell! It’s fun watching students answer questions into the microphone about Pythagorean Theorem, the difference between theme and main idea, how to treat viruses and so much more! It’s also impressive to watch their peers jump in to help when they stumble ! Ms Jordan even got put on the spot with a question!! This is an amazing idea to get children excited and engaged even before they enter the classroom. Kudos to Mrs Jones and Ms Fennell!!!

🐝 Through the Halls Thursday 🐝
This week we are highlighting all the amazing art our students have done this year!! Our students are so creative and talented 🎨🖌️
We had the BEST time on our Kindergarten field trip to Red Beard Farms! 🍓🌱🐓
Our students got to experience so many hands-on activities—from yoga in the fresh air to learning all about seeds, soil blocks, vegetables, chickens, and even mushrooms! Every station was engaging, educational, and full of fun.
And of course… the highlight for many was getting to sample their DELICIOUS fresh strawberries! 🍓
We are so grateful to Red Beard Farms for their kindness, patience, and passion for teaching. They are always so welcoming, and it truly shows in everything they do. Not to mention—their produce is absolutely amazing!
Thank you for giving our students such a memorable and meaningful experience! 💛🌿
Happy Assistant Principal Appreciation Week to Dr. Goodlett! 💛
We are so thankful for the bright, charismatic, and positive energy she brings to Penderlea School each and every day. Dr. Goodlett has been such a wonderful addition to our school family, always leading with kindness, encouragement, and dedication.
Her passion for students, support for staff, and commitment to making Penderlea the best it can be does not go unnoticed. She goes above and beyond to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and supported.
Shout out to Dr. Goodlett for all that she does for our school, students, and community. We appreciate you more than words can say! 💛🐝🍎

Battle of the Grades: Attendance Challenge
Our school is kicking off an exciting Battle of the Grades attendance competition, starting next week! Each grade group—K–2, 3–5, and 6–8—will go head-to-head each week to see who can achieve the best attendance. The winning grade earns a Sir Stings-A-Lot star, and at the end of the month, the top grade in each bracket will celebrate with a fun ice cream party!
This competition is all about showing up and giving your best every day. Good attendance helps students stay on track with learning, build strong habits, and stay connected with friends and teachers. Every day counts—when you’re here, you’re learning, growing, and contributing to your grade’s success.
Let’s show our school spirit, be present, and make every day count! 🍦⭐
