Sea Turtle Families,
In an effort to support our neighbors in Western NC who are suffering from historic flooding, Surf City Elementary will be collecting water, nonperishable food items, personal hygiene items, and cleaning supplies on Monday and Tuesday of this week. These items will be delivered to the Pender County EMS and Fire on Tuesday afternoon. You may deliver items to the main office during the school day, or allow your student to bring items in when they get to school. Thank you.


Mrs. Hanson is looking for some awesome yearbook cover designers! If interested, see information below.

In STEAM, 3rd graders are investigating aerodynamics and what forces affect the flight of an object. Students created Hoop Flyers. They recorded the distance each hoop went and came to the conclusion that the Front - Large/Rear - Small went the farthest because it has a large surface area to get good lift in the front and a small rear that allows for less drag. Way to Go Sea Turtle Scientists!!
