🚁 Drones, Deputies & Future Innovators! 🚁

This past Friday, our 7th and 8th grade students had an incredible real-world learning experience when a pilot from the Pender County Sheriff's Department Drone Team visited our school! 👮‍♂️✨

He shared how drones are actively used by the department and wowed our students with a live flight demonstration right before their eyes! 🎯 Watching technology in action sparked excitement and curiosity about the many ways STEM careers show up in the real world. 🌍💡

Our students left inspired — and we couldn't be more grateful! 🙌

A huge THANK YOU to the Pender County Sheriff's Department for generously donating their time to invest in our students. 💙 This is what community partnership looks like! 🤝

🐻 Grizzly 7th Graders Explore Career Interests as Part of the NC Career Development Plan 🎯🌟

Cape Fear Middle counselors, Ms. Bowman and Ms. Todd, introduced students to NCcareers 💻, a "K to Gray" platform developed to help NC residents find careers, educational opportunities, and eventually employment 💼.

Students made choices about the kinds of activities that interest them and then researched matching occupations 🔍📚. Then they made "mini-posters" to connect what they learned to potential futures .

Thank you Ms. Bowman and Ms. Todd 👏❤️ for doing amazing things for your students! 🙌⭐

🚁 STEM Takes Flight at Cape Fear Middle School! 🤖

This week in Mr. Odom's class, our 7th & 8th graders tackled their BIGGEST challenge yet — programming their drones to navigate through 3 obstacles and nail the perfect landing in the designated zone! ✈️🎯 After conquering that, they leveled up to mastering manual flight controls!

Meanwhile, our 6th graders are officially ROBOT BUILDERS 🦾 — they've completed their very first robot and are gearing up to modify it for a soccer showdown ⚽ AND a tug of war battle 💪 Stay tuned... it's about to get competitive!

🚀 Last week, our 6th graders took an OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD field trip!

First stop: the Planetarium, where students took an immersive ride through the Solar System and revisited every planet they've explored this year. 🪐

Next stop: the Museum, where our Grizzlies showed off their knowledge of wilderness animals, wavelengths, and food chains — and truly impressed the staff! 🦅🔬

These students never miss a chance to shine. Way to show off that amazing Grizzly attitude! 🐾
