📢 North Carolina law now requires all public schools to show safety education videos to students in grades 6–12 within the first five days of the school year.
🛡️ As part of the Protecting Our Students Act (S.L. 2023-128), these age-appropriate videos help students recognize and report signs of abuse, neglect, or unsafe situations and emphasize that reporting is always confidential.
🎥 Pender County Schools is committed to complying with this mandate and making sure students know how to stay safe and seek help if needed. Look for information from your school in your email or sent home with your student once classes begin.

📚🏕️ Wrapping up an unforgettable week at West Pender Middle's Story Seekers Summer Camp! 🎉
Over the past five days, students have been reading purely for the joy of it — no tests, no stress. By the end of today, every student in the camp will have finished a full novel of their choice! That means roughly a quarter of West Pender’s students have completed a book this summer — and they’re leaving with another one in hand to keep the reading going! 🙌📖
With cozy reading spaces, creative themes, and supportive teachers, Story Seekers has sparked excitement around reading like never before. The love of reading is alive and well in Warrior Country! 💙⚔️

🐍🦎📚 Story Seekers Camp Day 2 brought the wild into reading! 🌿 Thanks to Ecological Marine Adventures, our campers got up close with a leopard gecko, bearded dragon, and corn snake 🐉—and learned how reptiles communicate and express their feelings. A perfect blend of science, storytelling, and curiosity! #StorySeekers2025 #WPMWarriorsRead #MainCharacterEnergy #LearningComesAlive

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.
