🎭✨ What an incredible first semester of theatre at Topsail Middle School! From hilarious improv games to creating jaw-dropping special effects makeup, writing and performing our own plays, and diving into the exciting world of technical theatre, we’ve done it all! 🌟 Our students have worked hard, laughed a lot, and created some truly unforgettable moments.
We’re so proud of everything they’ve accomplished, and we’re already looking forward to what’s next. If you’ve ever thought about giving theatre a try, we’d love to have you join the fun! 🎬💡🎶 #TMStheatre #MiddleSchoolTheatre

TMS 8th graders completed another milestone in the NC Career Development Plan by working on high school course planning. Topsail High School counselors and the THS career development coordinator visited classes to talk about how high school is different from middle school, tips for success, and to help students plan high school electives. Students stored their plans in a high school career development Google classroom so the plans can roll up with them. Ask them to show you their plan!
Congratulations to the 6th , 7th and 8th grade bands as well as our Handbell Chime Club for their great performances last night in our Holiday Concert.
The latest edition of the Topsail Times is ready. Please take a minute to review the information.
Thank you. Go Pirates.
