Ms. Stewart's 4th graders took a deep dive into poetry to launch their new book, Love That Dog. Students worked in groups to explore a variety of poetry books, discussed what they enjoyed about their book and showed their rating using sand dollars. Finally, students chose an object of their choice and wrote their very own poem!
September Lost & Found Items will be cleaned out and donated at the end of the month. 🧥 Anything look familiar?

Dear Surf City Families,
Please read this announcement from Pender County Transportation Department:
Dear Parents, Thank you for your ongoing patience as we refine our bus routes. To address the delays with bus 291, we've adjusted routes for buses 279, 280, 281, 287, 288, and 323.
Updated bus passes were sent to the school level administration Friday afternoon to provide the changes to your students. These updates will be reflected in the HCTB app within 24 hours.
Please allow time for Hwy 17 traffic, construction delays, etc as the routing software does not take these challenges into consideration when establishing route times.
We appreciate your understanding as we implement these changes.
From Surf City Elementary:
If your child was previously assigned to the morning route for Bus 291 and you did not receive a paper bus pass or an email about this change, please contact Leah_Smith@pender.k12.nc.us

Friday Fun! Mrs. Collin's 5th grade students played a math relay game working as a team to solve problems. They took turns to solve each piece of the problem. Then students partnered up to solve problems in a pixel art to reveal a mystery picture. What a fun way to prepare for a topic quiz!
Dive into our weekly news at Surf City Elementary! Thanks for an incredible week of learning!
Happy Friday, Sea Turtles!
We have an update for Bus 291. Contrary to a previous notification, the second run of Bus 291 will not be 15 minutes early today. Instead, the bus will now be leaving approximately 15 minutes later than its originally scheduled time.
Frequent changes are inconvenient for us all, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
