Ms. Burke visited our 6th Grade science class this morning and brought a Vandergraff Generator with her! Students were able to touch it and feel the “shocks” generated by it.

🥎🐝 8th Grade Softball Night 🐝🥎 Tonight, we celebrated our incredible 8th grade Hornets who have given their hearts to Penderlea softball. Your dedication, teamwork, and love for the game have left a lasting mark on this program. You’ve shown what it means to play with pride, hustle hard, and lift each other up—on and off the field. Thank you for the memories, the laughter, and the leadership you’ve shared with your teammates and coaches. Once a Hornet, always a Hornet! 💛 #feelthesting #PenderleaisthePlacetobe
