Good evening. In preparation for possible inclement weather, Pender County will offer a bagged lunch and a bagged breakfast for students to take home tomorrow, in case schools are virtual or closed Monday, 1/23.
While taking attendance, students will have the chance to tell the teacher if they would like to take home the 2 bagged meals. Feel free to discuss with your child tonight and decide if you would like them to grab some bagged meals. This is completely optional and no charge to the parents at all.
The district will meet on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning to make a decision about school Monday. We will post as soon as we know the verdict.

Have you ever seen a small act make a big difference? After reading "The Hat" by Jan Brett, each of Ms. Meadows Pre-K students got to choose a hat to take home — all donated by a kind neighbor in our community. 🎩✨ Watching their faces light up reminded us how powerful community support can be for kids. 📚❤️

Ms. Emery's first graders are mastering addition and subtraction using dominos. A perfect activity to build number sense and stay engaged. 🎲💡🧠
✨ Long weekend alert! ✨ No school Monday, January 19 — we’re honoring MLK Day. ✊🏽🕊️ Take this extra day to reflect on Dr. King’s legacy, spend time with loved ones, or volunteer in your community.
Ms. Colant's Kindergarten class has been working on number bonds this week in math, and the kids have been absolutely loving it! So many light‑bulb moments and confidence boosters — watching them connect the ideas and cheer each other on has been the highlight this week. 💡✨
We're happy to share with you that Reinette from Mr. Kinkead's 5th grade class is our Sea Turtle of the Week. Reinette, your school is proud of you. 💙🐢💚

In Ms. Lagnese's 4th grade class, they brought the rock cycle to life—with Starbursts! By pressing, heating (with their hands!), and reshaping the candy, students modeled igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Hands-on, sticky, and totally unforgettable. 🍬✨
Could a balloon move something without touching it? 🎈✨ 🎈 Today Ms. Burnett's 3rd grade scientists explored static electricity and saw forces at work right before their eyes. The activity promoted observation, hypothesis testing, and engagement — essential skills for scientific thinking. ⚡️📘
Guess who’s getting sandy? Our PreK playground just received brand-new sand and the smiles say it all! 🏖️✨
How can quotes bring history to life? 📚✨ In Mrs. Horne’s ELA classes, students analyzed meaningful Civil War quotes and matched each one to an illustration of the event it describes. This hands-on activity strengthens nonfiction reading skills, builds historical empathy, and sparks great classroom discussions. 📜➡️🖼️
Tiny hands, huge achievements! ✨
Ms. Silman's kindergarten crew rocked Freckle on their Chromebooks today — practicing counting, shapes, and number sense while earning badges and big smiles. The result: increased engagement, immediate feedback, and visible boosts in confidence—especially when students earn badges for persistence. 🎉🖥️

Mrs. Holmes’ 3rd grade students grabbed rulers, measured in inches and centimeters, and dove into finding the area of shapes. The classroom buzzed with teamwork, discovery, and those perfect “I get it!” smiles.
Two kids, one story — big smiles and bigger reading gains! 📚💛
Who knew wind could spark so much curiosity? 🌬️✨ Mrs. Edwards' 1st graders kicked off a new Wit & Wisdom unit exploring how powerful the wind is. They did a partner picture walk and filled notebooks with wonders, questions, and notices — curious minds in action!📚🔍
We're happy to share with you that Elena from Ms. Monti's Kindergarten class is our Sea Turtle of the Week. Elena, your school is proud of you. 💙🐢💚
