🌟 DREAM BIG: EXPLORE CAREERS, DISCOVER YOUR FUTURE

November is National Career Development Month, and Pender County Schools CTE is inviting students to think big about where their interests and talents could take them. Through the PCS Dream Big Career Quest, students can explore a month of interactive career activities including videos, career guessing games, skill match-ups and opportunities to reflect on their own futures, all with no login required. 🚀💼

The month will feature weekly themes, career spotlights ranging from healthcare and technology to creative and community-focused careers, a Career Development Spirit Week and the Fall Into Your Future Career Fair on November 20. Along the way, students can discover the skills behind different careers while beginning to make connections between what they enjoy today and the possibilities waiting for them tomorrow. 🎓🛠️💡 https://sites.google.com/pender.k12.nc.us/pcsctencdm26/home

📚 Grizzly Book Buddies: Spreading Joy Through Reading! 📚

Mrs. Morin’s Grizzly Time enrichment group has been spreading a little extra joy through reading! Students have been visiting 1st grade CFE classrooms to serve as Book Buddies, inspiring a love of reading in our youngest learners. We love seeing our Grizzlies making a difference, one book at a time! 💙📖

🎉 NATIONAL PRINCIPALS MONTH | CAPE FEAR MIDDLE SCHOOL

At Cape Fear Middle School, Principal Bobby Simmons has worked to build something bigger than a school, a place where students and staff feel like family.

That sense of belonging is an important part of the culture at CFMS, where Mr. Simmons has emphasized relationships while maintaining high expectations for students. The goal is for students to walk through the doors each day feeling safe, challenged and welcomed.

Those who know Mr. Simmons also know there’s plenty of personality behind the principal’s desk. He’s known for his sense of humor, for being willing to jump in wherever he’s needed and even for firing up the grill for his staff.

It’s all part of an approach to leadership built around people, supporting teachers, connecting with students and creating a school community where everyone feels they have a place.

Throughout National Principals Month, we’re getting to know the people behind the principal’s desk and celebrating the leadership they bring to our schools each day.

Thank you, Mr. Simmons, for all you do for the Cape Fear Middle School family! 💙💛 YouTube Link - https://youtube.com/shorts/5_CT3XdgJYs

🐻💙 TOMORROW IS TAKE A STAND THURSDAY, GRIZZLIES! 💙🐻
