A big congratulations to the students from Cape Fear Middle, Surf City Middle, Heide Trask High, Pender High, and Topsail High who participated in Honor Band at UNC Pembroke this past weekend.
Students from across the state performed on Saturday at the Givens Performing Arts Center after spending just one day working with guest clinicians to prepare the concert. That is no small task, and our students did an outstanding job. We are proud to see them recognized for their talent and commitment.

🎨🏅 Art, Music & Band Olympics: A Celebration of Creativity and Teamwork! 🎶🏆
Over the past few weeks, Ms. Marshburn and Ms. Patrick have collaborated on an exciting Art/Band/Music Olympics unit! 🎨🎵 Students worked together to create unique team names and design their own flags, showcasing both artistic skills and teamwork. Teachers joined in by judging the flags and awarding points for creativity and effort. 🚩⭐
The excitement continued as students headed to the gym to participate in some relay races! 🏃♂️💨 Students competed in 4 different relays alongside Coach Bell's PE classes. It was an eventful day filled with friendly competition, school spirit, and lots of laughter. 😄🎉 This was a fun and memorable experience for our students.
The students used valuable skills such as problem-solving, communication, and working together. 🤝💡 They learned the importance of good sportsmanship, perseverance, and creativity. Combining the arts with physical activity, students see how different subjects connect, helping them build confidence and a strong sense of school community. 💪🏫❤️

🚁 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! 🤝
