In Mrs. Horne's 5th grade ELA, students had the opportunity to research topics based on their current novel, "A River Between Us." Students researched topics such as WWI and the Ford Model T, as well as recreating scenes from the Civil War! Some students even created props for their plays! This was a creative way to not only learn about historical events but to understand how events affect characters throughout a story.
🚍 Help Us Prepare for 2025-26 Bus Routes! 🚍
The Pender County Schools Transportation Department is gearing up for the next school year, and we need YOUR help to ensure accurate bus assignments!
📢 Important Steps for Parents/Guardians:
✅ Check your child’s Parent Letter for their current bus stop details.
✅ If there are NO changes, return the form with all “YES”s circled by April 16, 2025.
✅ If changes are needed, update your info using the Student Ridership Survey (https://bit.ly/4lb0ZLF) by April 16, 2025.
⏳ Deadline Reminders:
🔹 Schools must update all transportation data in Infinite Campus by May 9, 2025.
🔹 The Google Form will NOT reopen during summer – all new student transportation requests will go through Infinite Campus.

Try to find Mr. Rich sitting still, you will have a VERY hard time. He is constantly on the move looking for ways to make our school as clean as possible. Not only is our school more clean thanks to his efforts, but he also sets a great example of work ethic and taking care of the things we are trusted with.
After reading The Very Busy Spider, Ms. Meadows and Ms. Bryant's PreK class drew a bug using the characteristics of an insect and measured how many cubes tall their bug is. As a whole group they made a huge spider web using yarn and worked together as a team to build it strong enough for the plastic spider. 🕷
Check out Mrs. Rice's 4th graders 👀 Students are reading and analyzing popular Greek and Roman myths to discover what the myths explained, and how they relate to us today. After reading and discussing their myths, they created a group poster showing what they discovered. ✨
📚🌟 Student Showcase 🌟📚 We hope to see everyone at school Thursday evening for our Student Showcase/Curriculum Night.
