📚 Book Tasting with Ms. Harvey's Classes! 📚

This week, Ms. Harvey's students stopped by for a "book tasting" — and the challenge was simple: judge a book by its cover! 👀✨

Using only the title, cover art, colors, images, and genre clues, students had to predict what each story might be about before ever opening the pages. 🕵️‍♀️📖

It's amazing to see young readers practice inference, build curiosity, and get excited to dive into new stories! 🔍💭📗

🎉 Hey families! Mrs. Morin’s 6th grade class is playing a fun, educational game to learn the difference between unprofessional dress, casual dress, and beach attire — and we need clothing/items in the next couple of weeks to make it happen! 👕👖👗🏖️👔

Could you please send in gently used pieces or bring items to school? Drop them with Mrs. Morin.

Thank you for supporting a hands-on learning activity! 🙏💙

📚 A Feast of Books at CFMS! 📚

Mrs. Mills' 6th grade class traded their usual ELA routine for something a little more delicious — a "Book Tasting"! 🍽️📖

Students visited the CFMS library for a hands-on introduction to everything it has to offer, then sat down to "sample" a variety of genres, from mystery and fantasy to graphic novels and nonfiction. Each table was set with books of a different genre, giving students the chance to explore titles and genres they might normally scroll right past.

Here's to raising a generation of readers who know there's a whole menu of stories waiting for them! Thank you Ms. Sova🥳

Twenty-five years later, we remember.

On September 11, 2001, thousands of lives were lost, families were forever changed, and first responders answered an unimaginable call.

Today, Pender County Schools pauses to remember those who died, honor those who served and sacrificed in the years that followed, and recognize the families and communities who continue to carry the impact of that day.

For our students, September 11 is history. It is our responsibility to help them understand why we remember.

🇺🇸 We will never forget.

In Remembrance of 9/11 🕊️
