☀️ 📖 🌿CAPE FEAR MIDDLE SCHOOL GRIZZLIES READ! 🐻

As the weather continues to get warmer, it's the perfect time to take your reading OUTSIDE! 🌞📖

Whether you're lounging at the 🏖️ beach, swinging in a 🌳 hammock, sitting under a shady tree, or relaxing on your 🏡 porch — grab a book and soak up the sunshine! ☀️ There is no better feeling than a warm breeze and a great story.

📚 Why reading matters:
Reading builds vocabulary, strengthens focus, sparks creativity, and improves academic performance across ALL subjects. Every page you read is an investment in yourself — and it doesn't even feel like work when the sun is shining! 🌟

Grizzlies, don't forget — every minute counts! ⏱️ Make sure you are logging your reading minutes.

Whether it's 10 minutes before bed or an hour at the park, those minutes ADD UP and bring you one step closer to your goals. 🎯

Though the results didn't go our way yesterday against Topsail Middle School, we are SO proud of our Volleyball and Baseball teams for giving it their all on opening day! 🏐⚾❤️
