The week of October 13 - 17th is National School Lunch Week! We hope all of our students get to enjoy the "Taste of the World " inspired menu items. Breakfast and lunch are provided free of charge all week for our Surf City Middle School students.


Here is this week's Shark Bites: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ax70Rwb8nzTig2ZBwJvcBund78qyX9MW/view?usp=sharing. Don't forget that October 17th is the end of the first quarter and picture day for our students.


Happy Book Face Friday!

Get ready to get messy, Sharks! The Color Run is FRIDAY! 🎨🏃♀️💨
To ensure your student has the best time and your car seats survive the ride home, we've compiled a highly-official, expert-level "Color Run Survival Guide."
Here’s what your runner should bring to protect their eyes, their clothes, and your sanity:
😎 Sunglasses, Goggles, or a Bandana: To shield their eyes from the impending rainbowpocalypse.
👟 Old Clothes & Shoes: Wear something you're okay with becoming a masterpiece of questionable art.
👕 A Change of Clothes: For the post-run transformation back into a non-human-skittle.
🧖 A Towel: For a quick dusting-off before they get in the car.
And now, a word from our lawyers (not really, but let's be safe): Please send your Shark with a water bottle. Hydration is key to successfully running from (and through) clouds of color.
We can't wait to see you all there FRIDAY! It's going to be ridiculously fun.

The Surf City Sharks pulled off an incredible 20-6 win last night against the previously undefeated Cape Fear Middle School—the same team they lost to in their season opener, making this victory even sweeter! It was a night to remember, especially as it was 8th Grade Recognition Night, a special event to celebrate the hard work and leadership of our amazing 8th grade players.
Colby Roberts had a great performance with two touchdowns, while Robo De’Leon added 1 more touchdown to the scoreboard. The defense played tough all night, with big plays across the board, highlighted by Roman Harris’s clutch fumble recovery that gave the Sharks another key possession.
It was a true team effort, fueled by the support of our amazing fans!
The Sharks came out with intensity, focus, and determination, proving just how far they’ve come since that first game. . What a night for the Sharks — way to bounce back and finish strong!
Way to go, Sharks!
