✨ SparkLab is on the move! ✨
The SparkLab at Heide Trask has launched a Spark Club at Cape Fear Middle School where students are diving into Makey Makey and coding. With creativity (and a little Play-Doh!) they’re discovering how to turn everyday objects into tech tools. 💻🔌

This week in Mrs. Morin's keyboarding classes the students have been learning about keyboarding short cuts. After a presentation and a game review, the students participated in a quick paced SCOOT game. The questions were hung around the room and the students had 10 seconds to answer each question. The the word SCOOT was shouted, and the kiddos moved to the next question. This was a great activity to get the students up moving and reviewing.

This week in Mr. Odom's classes, students have been working on designing their towers. Students will then build and test the tower by hanging a weight on the tower until it fails. Mr. Odom will be buying the top two teams from each A/B day ice cream from the cafeteria.

This week, we’re shining a light on Mr. Bobby Simmons, Principal of Cape Fear Middle School! Now in his 5th year leading CFMS, Mr. Simmons has built more than just a school—he’s built a family. Under his leadership, the school has seen steady improvements in test scores, thanks to the strong relationships he fosters with his teachers and staff.
Known for creating a welcoming and supportive environment, Mr. Simmons leads with balance. He gives his staff the freedom to do their jobs while also holding high expectations. Beyond academics, he’s the type of leader who’s quick with a joke, fires up the grill to cook for his team, and steps in to support his staff in any way he can.
Mr. Simmons’ impact is felt daily at CFMS, where his leadership, positivity, and dedication continue to make a difference for both staff and students. Thank you, Mr. Simmons, for your commitment to the Cape Fear Middle School family and to Pender County Schools! 💙💛
