Surf City Elementary

Today Ms. Pierce's 1st grade class read the Geodes book, “An Illustrator at Work” which tells about Neil Brigham's illustrations using printmaking. They were so inspired that they decided to stamped their own illustrations!

The Master Gardeners did their first lesson with first grade today on soil. Next month they will be bringing worms into the classroom to teach us about how they help the soil.

🥞🍕October breakfast & lunch menu 🔗 http://bit.ly/4nshELl

Ms. Wither's PreK class had a fruit-tastic time working together to make a delicious fruit salad. They started by creating their own recipe as a group, discussing which fruits to include and how to prepare them. Then they practiced important skills like washing, cutting (with help) and safely handling the ingredients. Everyone had a chance to contribute, and the result was a colorful, tasty fruit salad that was enjoyed by all.

Happy Friday! Starting Oct. 1, our 3rd-5th graders will start using Accelerated Reader and K-5 students will also participate in the district's Million Minute Challenge. More information on that to come! Exciting things are in the near future for our READERS at Surf City Elementary!

Mrs. Edwards' first grade class earned enough SURF points for a pajama and stuffy day. Their points are being earned by being fantastic during Encore classes. Keep up the great work!

We're happy to share with you that Connor from Ms. Pierce's 1st grade class is our Sea Turtle of the Week. Connor, your school is proud of you. 💙🐢💚

🍎👮‍♂️ Lunch with the Law 👮‍♀️🍎 Thank you to our awesome SC Police Department for sitting down to lunch with our first graders. This community program gives the officers the chance to connect with students, answer their curious questions, and build positive relationships in a fun, relaxed setting. We’re grateful for the opportunity to show these young students that police officers are here to help, support, and keep them safe.

Ms. Polster's music class makes us happy! 🎶🥁

Good news! The driver for 288 will be on time. If you would like your child to ride bus 288, but you have already made arrangements for your child to be picked up, please notify the school. sce_info@pender.k12.nc.us
We are sorry for the late switch, but on time is better than a 4:15 dismissal!

Bus 288 will be on bus 251 today. The bus will not leave campus until 4:15 pm. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you would like to make alternate transportation arrangements for your child please email sce_info@pender.k12.nc.us.
