At Governor Aycock's birthplace, 2nd grade students had the opportunity to step back in time and experience what life was like in the late 1800s. They explored the historical surroundings and learned about the daily activities of the era. One of the hands-on highlights was making candles by dipping wicks into melted beeswax, offering a unique glimpse into the craftsmanship and traditions of the past. This immersive experience allowed students to connect with history in a tangible and memorable way.
The home girl's basketball game today versus Burgaw Middle will begin at 4:30pm, but will be considered a scrimmage game with a running clock. This means that the boys game may begin earlier than 5:30pm.
We hope to see everyone in the stands! 📣 Admission is $5, cash only, for all spectators 6th grade and up.
Go Hornets! 🐝 🏀 🖤 #feelthesting #onepender #westsiderising
This Week's Word of the Week is CHARACTERIZE. Characterize means to describe the qualities or traits of someone or something. See how many times you can use the word at home with your students. #PenderleaIsThePlaceToBe #OnePender #WestsideRising #ExperienceTheExcellence
