🎨 A huge thank you to the Pender Arts Council and Topsail High School for their continued support of our students! PAC generously loaned us display panels for our 7th Grade Autumn Arts Festival, giving students a wonderful opportunity to showcase their hard work from the first quarter. 🌟 Our Student Council also made great use of the display panels for student elections, creating a setup that gave students a real sense of what voting booths are like! 🗳️ Special shoutout to the Topsail High students who helped with pickup, setup, and breakdown of the panels. Your support made these events a success! 👏 #ThankYou #CommunitySupport #StudentShowcase #PenderArtsCouncil #TopsailHigh
