Each classroom is striving to get at least 80% of their families connected to school on the "Rooms" app (located within the Pender County Schools app). Ms. Bassano's and Ms. Leonard's class were among the first classrooms to reach their goal - great work! If you're not yet connected in "Rooms," please reach out to your student's teacher to get the 'Magic Code' and connect today! #OnePender
