This past Saturday, our Grizzly Drone team and their families rose and shined early to head to Sandhills Community College for the final local competition of the season! 🌅 While we didn't bring home any trophies this time around, we couldn't be more proud of how our students represented and finished out the season. 💪
A huge shoutout to Gabby Gold for scoring our highest Piloting Skills Score of the entire season! 🏆⭐ That is a massive achievement and a sign of just how far this team has come!
The Grizzlies are already looking ahead to next season and a brand new competition — more opportunities to sharpen their skills and bring home that well-earned hardware! 🥇 The best is yet to come!
Way to show out and represent Cape Fear Middle School with pride! 🐻🩶💙

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! 🤝

Cape Fear Middle counselors, Ms. Bowman and Ms. Todd, introduced students to NCcareers 💻, a "K to Gray" platform developed to help NC residents find careers, educational opportunities, and eventually employment 💼.
Students made choices about the kinds of activities that interest them and then researched matching occupations 🔍📚. Then they made "mini-posters" to connect what they learned to potential futures .
Thank you Ms. Bowman and Ms. Todd 👏❤️ for doing amazing things for your students! 🙌⭐
