📣 March is Social Work Month! 🎉
Meet Faith Harper, one of our dedicated school social workers! Ms. Harper splits her time between North Topsail Elementary, Surf City Elementary, and Topsail High School. With two years of experience, she is passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment where students feel loved and empowered to overcome challenges.
✨ Jill Robertson -“We are so appreciative of Ms. Harper. Her compassion, dedication and unwavering support make such a positive impact on our school community. Whether she is offering a listening ear, providing resources or advocating for those in need, her kindness and hard work does not go unnoticed. NTE is thankful for the positive impact she makes every day!”
🎉 Fun Facts: She’s a big UNC-Chapel Hill fan, an iced coffee lover, and has a beagle-boxer mix named Milo who is about to turn 3!
Join us in thanking Ms. Harper and all our amazing school social workers for their dedication! 💙👏
Mrs. Gray's class celebrated the end of Module 3 in Wit and Wisdom with an agamograph. Students used their knowledge of the American Revolutionary War to represent why it is important to understand all sides of a story.

🎶 Pender County Schools Music Departments Shine! 🎶
Last night, students from SCMS, BMS, and HTHS took to the stage for a Pre-MPA concert, where they performed for judges to receive valuable feedback ahead of the official Music Performance Adjudication (MPA) this week at Ashley High School. This event is an important opportunity for our student musicians to receive constructive comments that will help them perfect their performances for Thursday and Friday’s MPA events.
Best of luck to all our PCS schools participating this week, including THS and TMS, who will be performing at MPA as well!
