Also, please remind your students to sign up on our google form if they would like to attend her presentation or the writer's workshop. They can find the form in the media center or ELA teacher's google classrooms. Keep reading, Sharks!

Ethan Houston, a junior at Topsail High School, spent the day teaching our 6th grade science classes about space exploration- past, present, and future. He did a great job, and we're pretty sure we have some future astronauts in these photos.
Thanks, Ethan!

Ms. Muffett’s 6th grade social study classes learned about papyrus in their ancient Egypt unit. Then they made their own! They put it to the test using it to complete their god/goddess project.

Mrs. Clarke’s 7th grade Learning Lab students participated in a small “Friendsgiving” potluck on Monday, Nov. 24th. The students previously worked on money and budgeting through a math computation activity. Students planned a Thanksgiving menu and recorded the prices of five items they selected. After that, they partnered up to create a new Thanksgiving menu—this time with a $40 budget based on their previous choices. The lesson gave students a hands-on look at the kinds of decisions families often make when planning holiday meals, especially when working within a budget. The “Friendsgiving” celebration was a fun way for students to come together, practice social and life skills, and celebrate the season. 🦃🥧

Thank you to the Pender County Arts Council (PAC) for supporting our students!
This fall, PAC generously lent our school display panels for our Annual Autumn Arts Showcase, and even allowed us to keep several for our Student Council elections. For the past two years, their support has helped us seamlessly “bookend” these two major events for our school community. We appreciate the support they give to our school all year long! 🎨💙🦈

Here is this week's newsletter. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XupUqntehviy9pBi2AhbT3OW2h_g5jBN/view?usp=sharing Pender County Schools has partnered with researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill to study the impacts of student technology use on mental health and academic outcomes. The information gathered will help guide our school’s digital literacy supports, evaluate the effectiveness of current policies, and inform future state-level decisions about technology use in schools.

To move forward, we need every parent/guardian to complete the consent form—whether you choose to grant or deny consent. Your participation is essential.

🔗 Please complete the Consent Form now! https://unc.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7O65QO7lLpejr70
You will receive a $5 gift card for completing the form.
Be sure to continue through each page until you see the message “Your response has been recorded.”

As an added incentive for our school community, Surf City Middle School will receive $1,000 if 70% or more of our forms are returned—regardless of parents’ consent choice.

For more information about the study, please visit the UNC project website or contact the research team directly:
