We see where our Eagles get their smiles from ...
Nothing is better than the "extra special" hugs from grandparents!
More of the wonderful pictures from Grandparent's Breakfast in the Eagle's Nest!
Our "Lost and (needs to be) Found" area is growing. Please ask your Eagle to check the area for a missing item.
Look at all this happiness in the pictures .... we might need a Spring Event to bring our "Grand-Eagles" back to the nest! (We do have a book fair afterschool event in 2 weeks!)
Check out all those smiles! Our little Eagles LOVED showing off their grandparents!
You might even catch a current Eagle staff member in these photos too ...
Thank you "Grand-Eagles" for coming to have breakfast with your little Eagles last week! We had an incredible turn out - over 260 grandparents and everyone had a great time. Thank you to Mrs. Havens for snapping so many pictures! We will slowly be uploading these to the website over the next few days! Look closely and you'll see familiar faces (former teachers, former Eagles ... this was like a homecoming at MCE!.) Learning is better when we're together - including our grandparents!!
Pender County School Families,
Today a few school districts in North Carolina were affected by false reports of violence on their campuses. We have been in contact with local law enforcement and there is no credible threat to any of our schools. It appears to be part of a hoax known as “swatting.”
While Pender County Schools has not experienced this issue directly, we know the message is circulating on social media and that many of our families may be understandably concerned about school safety. Please know that our top priority is the safety and well-being of our students and staff. We take any and all reports of potential threats seriously, and we are making every effort to maintain an environment where students and staff feel safe.
We would like to continue to remind our students and school community, if you see something, “Say Something” using our reporting system located on the main webpage of every school as well as the Pender County Schools mobile app. Also always report, don’t repost. Sharing false information, making threats, and engaging in online harassment are serious offenses that can have severe consequences.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your individual school. Thank you for your attention to this important update.
📢 Schools Open on Normal Schedule Wednesday, September 18! 📚
We’re happy to inform you that all Pender County Schools will resume regular operations on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
TEACHER TUESDAY - Ms. Hannah Stewart | Malpass Corner Elementary! ✨
In her fourth year of teaching, Ms. Stewart finds pure joy in those lightbulb moments when students learn something new. Her passion shines brightest in ELA, where she loves helping her students “travel the world” through reading and writing. 🌍📚 Instilling a love for learning is what drives her every day.
One of Ms. Stewart’s proudest accomplishments was during her third year in Kindergarten, when she worked with several multilingual learners who spoke little to no English. By embracing their language and culture, she was able to teach and communicate effectively with them. By the end of the school year, three of those students made significant progress, moving from red to green or blue composite scores on mCLASS! 🎉💪
Outside the classroom, Ms. Stewart loves to spend time with her family and explore new destinations. She’s a big fan of reading, listening to music, cooking, and—of course—traveling. 🛫👩🍳 Her favorite trip so far? The Bahamas! But she’s got her eyes set on Europe, especially Scotland. 🏴
And let’s not forget about her adorable Golden Retriever, Fancy—yes, named after Reba McEntire’s famous song! 🎶🐕
Her personal motto, inspired by Babe Ruth, is a perfect reflection of her approach to teaching and life: *“Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.”* ⚾
Due to the current weather conditions, Pender County Schools is moving to an early release schedule. Additionally, all after-school activities have been canceled.
To view the updated bell schedule for early release, please visit our website - https://www.pender.k12.nc.us/page/school-bell-schedule
At this time, we plan to resume our normal schedule tomorrow.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please stay safe.
A wet day for sure but our Eagles show up to the nest because it is better when we are together! Continuing with the S for Safety - part of our S*O*A*R matrix for behavior - this week's Eagles of the Week were recognized for being safe in the hallways.
