Fourth grade had a great time at The Cape Fear Museum. They got to participate in several math activities, explore the history section, and engage with the current exhibits (The history of gaming and airplanes). They highly recommend a trip to Wilmington for this museum.





Good afternoon Surf City Families.
The second route of bus 240 will be approximately 45 minutes late today. If you are able to make other transportation arrangements for your child, please contact the front office by phone or email. We will relay the information to your child. Thank you sce_info@pender.k12.nc.us


Happy Friday! 🌞

We're happy to share with you that Gio P. from Mrs. Mitchell's 1st grade class is our Sea Turtle of the Week for the week of March 31-April 4. Gio, your school is proud of you. 💙🐢💚


The Makerspace in the library is looking for your junk!

In STEAM, Mrs. Potts kindergarten class is learning how the engineering design process works as they got to imagine, plan, create, test, and improve on a bed for baby bear. This engineering challenge is based on the story Goldilocks and the One Bear. They all made the "perfect" beds for their baby bear!

Mrs. Allen’s I&E reading group is taking advantage of the nice spring weather and new picnic tables and practicing grammar skills and parts of speech by doing silly mad libs with partners.

Lunch with the Law 👮🏼 Thank you to our awesome SC Police Department for sitting down to lunch with our fourth graders.






We’re all unique, and that’s what makes us awesome. #WorldAutismAwarenessDay



April Fools from 2nd Grade Teachers! After reading about a bird called the “Lirpa Loof,” how it migrates from Montana to the East Coast, loves marshmallows (because they remind it of the nectar from its favorite flower the Monkey Flower- of course), and how it will come land on an open palm when you imitate its call “liirrrrp”, students attempted to lure the elusive (and made up) bird to them at recess.





Mrs. Burnett's 3rd grader are busy this Wednesday analyzing the poetry of William Carlos Williams. 📝

Fifth graders enjoyed their day at Penderlea Farms for Agriculture Day! Students were introduced to many different topics and hands-on activities. From master gardeners to farming drones and goats, they had an opportunity to learn about the farming community and get a firsthand glimpse into the world of farming and agriculture. 👩🌾🚜











Mrs. Morgan's class has been studying about immigration. These students are dressed as their chosen immigrant, whom they researched, and created a project on. They were part of the 3rd grade Student Showcase Living Wax Museum.



Good afternoon Surf City Families,
Your child is bringing home a Pender County Schools Transportation Form today. The information on this form helps the transportation team plan bus routes for next school year.
Here’s what to do:
* If your child already has a bus stop and nothing will change next year, simply circle “Yes” on all questions and return the form by April 16th. You do NOT need to complete the online survey.
* If you need to make changes for next year, circle “No” and fill out the updated information on the paper form. Please also complete the online survey using this link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScRS35Z5ZiD-UhdPnbQBH4u0LqlwRRk5NVgcAPkWWIzSNpX7Q/viewform?usp=header
