It's a special week! We have TWO Sea Turtle of the Week recipients this week. First up, we're happy to share with you that Brantley from Ms. DeCicco's 3rd grade class is one of our Sea Turtles of the Week for the week of April 7-11 . Brantley, your school is proud of you. 💙🐢💚

Dear Sea Turtle Families,
It is with deep sadness that I share the news of the passing of Ms. Brenda Travers, former Receptionist at Surf City Elementary, and a valued member of our school community. While I did not have the privilege of knowing her personally, I have heard countless stories from staff and families about her incredible sense of humor, her strength, and her welcoming nature.
Ms. Brenda made a lasting impact on all those she encountered, bringing warmth, laughter, and a sense of belonging to everyone she worked with. Her dedication to our students and the school community was truly remarkable, and her spirit will continue to live on through the memories she leaves behind.
Please join me in honoring her memory and celebrating the positive influence she had on Surf City Elementary and our community.
Sincerely,
Trey Bailey
Surf City Elementary Principal
