Topsail Middle School

Seventh grade students dive into learning about how bias can change a narrative while learning about Protestant Reformation. Students used Martin Luther's example and "nailed" their thesis/concerns on Dr. Mac's office door for him to review.

**POSTPONED** Due to field conditions at Topsail High School our TMS Football game tonight is POSTPONED. Football and Cheer will have normal practices instead. Softball game is still scheduled to be played at it's normal time.

Students in Mrs. Fabbie’s 5th-grade class had a great time diving into their historical fiction novel Thunder Rolling in the Mountains as part of our ELA curriculum!

To kick things off, she held a Book Tasting — a fun and interactive way to spark curiosity and excitement about reading. Book tastings allow students to “sample” a new text, notice important details, and start asking questions about what the story might hold.

Our young readers are off to a strong start, and we can’t wait to see where this journey through history takes them!

FCA launched its first leader meetings to start planning for this year's huddles. This week, students came together to pray for the national "See You At the Pole" event. FCA huddles will begin in October at TMS.

We are grateful to our wonderful PTO for treating the TMS staff to a fantastic lunch! A big thank you to Texas Roadhouse for donating the delicious rolls, salad, and dressing, and to Publix for the tasty chicken tenders. What a great way to show appreciation!

What an incredible experience for our 8th grade band members at the first-ever Pender County Marching Band Showcase at Heide Trask High School this past Tuesday!

In Mrs. Baer's 6th grade science class, students are engaging with complex concepts by creating 3D atom models. This hands-on approach not only enhances understanding, but also sparks curiosity in young minds.
