Happy School Librarian Day.  Thank you for all you do Ms. Sova.
🌟 Feature Friday: Employee Spotlight 🌟

This week we’re recognizing Ms. Anna Hayes, Treasurer at Cape Fear Middle School.

Ms. Hayes has been part of Pender County Schools for 50 years. She is a product of our district and has worked at several schools over the years, including Burgaw Elementary, C.F. Pope, Malpass Corner, and now Cape Fear Middle School.

In her current role, she helps keep things running smoothly and supports staff with the day-to-day needs of the school. Many staff members look to her for guidance or just someone to talk to, and she’s always willing to listen and help where she can.

She’s a steady presence in the building and someone people know they can count on.

💛💙 Thank you, Ms. Hayes, for your years of service and for the role you continue to play at Cape Fear Middle School.

☀️ 📖 🌿CAPE FEAR MIDDLE SCHOOL GRIZZLIES READ! 🐻

As the weather continues to get warmer, it's the perfect time to take your reading OUTSIDE! 🌞📖

Whether you're lounging at the 🏖️ beach, swinging in a 🌳 hammock, sitting under a shady tree, or relaxing on your 🏡 porch — grab a book and soak up the sunshine! ☀️ There is no better feeling than a warm breeze and a great story.

📚 Why reading matters:
Reading builds vocabulary, strengthens focus, sparks creativity, and improves academic performance across ALL subjects. Every page you read is an investment in yourself — and it doesn't even feel like work when the sun is shining! 🌟

Grizzlies, don't forget — every minute counts! ⏱️ Make sure you are logging your reading minutes.

Whether it's 10 minutes before bed or an hour at the park, those minutes ADD UP and bring you one step closer to your goals. 🎯
