Mr. Kinkead (and Mrs. Eames) are attending training with the FIRST Lego League in preparation for STE’s upcoming Robotics Club (available to 4th and 5th graders). Legos + Coding + Future Engineers = Fun!
One of Pender County's finest bus drivers turned 80 on Saturday! South Topsail students and families love working with Mr. McIntyre as he always has students' safety as his priority. Happy Birthday Mr. McIntyre! We love you!
Hey Santa, do you need someone to light the way this year? We've got the brightest reindeer here at South Topsail!
Tomorrow is red and green day (and tonight is the 1st & 2nd grade performance at 6:00 and 5th grade performance at 7:00!)!
The weather may have been chilly today, but these Stingrays were cozy in their flannel! Tomorrow is "Holiday Socks and Reindeer Ears" Day!
Do you know what snowmen do at night? These kindergarten Stingrays know... and they engineered sleds for their snowmen to use for their nighttime adventures!
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Yarbrough's kindergarteners had special visitors this week (no, not the classroom elves!). Topsail High School seniors came to read books to them. What a treat!
The best part about Thanksgiving? The pie! 3rd grade Stingrays had "pie day," tasting different pie varieties and completing reading, writing, and math tasks all related to this holiday favorite!
What is Thanksgiving without a parade? Ms. Cantrell's kindergarteners learned about the history of the annual parade and the spectacular balloons on display. This morning the school was treated to a parade of the class' own balloon creations.
The tradition lives on! 2nd Grade Stingrays worked on themed decorations and understanding the origin of Thanksgiving before gathering together for a holiday feast.
Students were treated to a performance today by the 4th and 5th grader chorus, led by Ms. Rodgers. We have some talented Stingray singers!

If you build it, they will come! 1st Grade Stingrays engineered bridges from popsicle sticks as they finished up their unit on the use of shapes in the design process.
It was definitely a bad hair week for 4th grade Stingrays as they explored the effects of static electricity in STEAM!
