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.

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.

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.
