https://youtu.be/fLgOwuTphb8?si=UnY2ymQonfM4HpHp
Recently the Cape Fear Middle robotics teams traveled to Durham for a regional skills competition, going head-to-head with teams that have been competing for years. While they didn’t place this time, one of the CFM teams brought home the 🏆 Sportsmanship Award—a huge honor that showcases their teamwork and dedication!
Coach Paul Odom is incredibly proud of these students, many of whom just started competing this year. This experience gave them valuable lessons and new ideas to improve their robots, setting their sights on a potential shot at the state competition later this year! 🚀
Way to go, Cape Fear Robotics! The future is bright! 💡🔧 #OnePender

This week in STEM we have been busy. 8th grade has begun testing out their balsa wood gliders with the goal of making them fly farther and stay in the air longer each time they test them. 7th grade is finishing up their rubber band airplanes so they can test them out next week. And last but certainly not least our 6th grade students are putting the finishing touches on their tetrahedral kits so they can try and fly them next week!
Has it been a while since you checked out a book and haven't brought it back yet? Please look around your home over the weekend and bring back any books that you have had for a long time. They need to be returned so others can check them out./ ¿Ha pasado un tiempo desde que sacaste un libro y aún no lo has devuelto? Mire alrededor de su casa durante el fin de semana y traiga los libros que haya tenido durante mucho tiempo. Es necesario devolverlos para que otros puedan comprobarlos.
Congratulations to Ms. Van Slyke for being recognized as the Cape Fear Middle BT1 Teacher of Promise/School-level BT of the Year! You are so deserving of this award. You started later in the school year as an EC Teacher, but you JUMPED RIGHT IN! You bring such a warm and positive energy to the school, are doing push-in support, pull-out learning labs, you have worked diligently to build relationships with students and teammates, working hard to navigate EC paperwork, and you are willing to ask for help when needed and apply suggested tips/strategies. You are a true shining light!
We would like to say "Thank You" to all our bus drivers. You get our students to school and take them back home. You are such a necessary part of our school, and we appreciate everything you do!!!!
8th graders in ELA are learning about contact sports, and if they are worth the risk to play or not. Today, students got to take their knowledge from an article about concussions and CTE and interview a former Brevard College QB about his experience with concussions and the potential that he could have CTE. Also Coach Hammock, our reading tutor, has added integral knowledge in this unit from his over 30 years of coaching experience. Go Grizzlies!
