Aviso Importante para los Negocios Locales Hemos sido informados de una estafa relacionada con una empresa llamada Elite Sports Promo (https://www.elitesportspromos.com/) que está afirmando falsamente representar a Pender High School y a las Escuelas del Condado de Pender mientras solicita fondos de patrocinio. Según informes de otros distritos, varios negocios ya han sido engañados. Para aclarar, ninguna escuela del Condado de Pender trabaja con empresas externas de mercadeo para conseguir patrocinios. Las únicas organizaciones autorizadas a recaudar fondos para nuestros programas deportivos son los Booster Clubs (clubes de apoyo). Si su negocio es contactado por alguien que dice representar a nuestras escuelas para fines de publicidad o patrocinio, le recomendamos verificar su identidad y comunicarse directamente con la escuela.

🎨 8th Grade Advanced Art Mural Project 🎨 Each year, our 8th Grade Advanced Art students leave their mark at Surf City Middle School with a student-designed mural! This year’s design was created by Rikky Skrypek, Josephine North, and Evelyn Suh. The design was selected after a proposal process where students submitted original sketches and plans to the school administration for approval. ✅✏️ Now proudly displayed outside the cafeteria, their mural brings color, creativity, and school spirit to one of the most visible areas in the building. 🌊🦈

We had a Family Survivor Watch Party last night for episode 1 of Survivor Surf City! Great food, intensely competitive challenges, and an awesome first episode all made for a fun-filled evening! Thanks to all the kids and families for coming out and playing hard. We can't wait to start season 2 next year!

Thank you for your patience.

Actualmente, una interrupción del servicio de Internet está afectando a las escuelas de Topsail y Surf City, lo que podría impactar tanto el Internet como las líneas telefónicas en esas ubicaciones. Four County Electric ha confirmado que el problema se debe a una línea de fibra óptica que fue cortada. En este momento, no hay un tiempo estimado para la restauración del servicio. Estamos trabajando activamente con Four County Electric para monitorear la situación y publicaremos actualizaciones en nuestro sitio web y canales de redes sociales tan pronto como haya más información disponible.

Mrs Council's Theater Arts classes did an amazing job this year!

Our 7th graders took on a fun and creative STEM project yesterday: build the tallest tower that could hold a single marshmallow. Students showed incredible teamwork, problem-solving, and determination. While everyone did an amazing job—and followed the important rule of not eating the marshmallows until the end—our assistant principal, Mr. Perkins, may have bent the rules a bit… (see pic for evidence). Shout-out to our overall winners: Dexter, Abel, and Conner, whose impressive tower reached a whopping 30 inches tall. Way to go! Special thanks to all of our families who donated materials so our students could complete this fun and memorable project. We couldn’t have done it without your support.

We have a limited number of yearbooks available while supplies last. They are $30 exact cash please. If you miss this round, they will be available by direct order from Strawbrige after June 1st, and we will post that information then.
