Penderlea Beta students traveled to Concord, NC to participate in the Beta Leadership Summit. The students listened to dynamic speakers, encouraging them to be leaders in their communities but also HOW to become those leaders. They participated in projects focused on learning to collaborate as students and also engage the community. They also identified a need in
our community and designed a way to support and help eliminate that need. We received an award for Outstanding Leadership School and Qualified for two National Events, Collaboration Connection and Lead Outside the Box.
Go Hornets! We are so so proud of you!






Celebrating Kimberly McNeill, Principal of Penderlea School, for National Principals Month! 🌟 Your commitment to excellence is truly inspiring! #ExperienceTheExcellence https://www.pender.k12.nc.us/o/ps/page/administration

Beta students are once again completing the Students Against Hunger Campaign that helps support the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. Donations can be non-perishable foods, cases of water, paper or plastic cutlery, paper products, toiletry items, etc. Items that are glass, require a refrigerator/ freezer, and baby food, can not be accepted. Donations can be sent to your students' homeroom teacher until November 27th. The class with the most donations will receive a doughnut party! Thank you for helping our Beta Students support this cause!
