On Thursday, November 24, Pender County Schools is once again proud to support “Feast of Hope” which provides Thanksgiving meals to those who are less fortunate. The event, which takes place on Thanksgiving Day, will provide a hot Thanksgiving plate dinner, dessert, care package and a message of hope. Over the last two years Feast of Hope has provided more than 1,500 meals to people in the Pender County and Wilmington areas. Thanksgiving meals will be served at Northside Church from 9am until noon. Pre-orders are preferred and may be placed at this link https://bit.ly/3Usb2hF and delivery service is also available. For those individuals that don't pre-order, plates will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
For any student in grades 3-5 that would like to submit a Science Fair project outside of projects being worked on in the classroom will need to do so no later than Tuesday, November 29th. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you have any questions.
Please remember that students and staff are out of school for Thanksgiving vacation Wednesday, November 23rd - Friday, November 25th. Our quote for the week: “A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues” by Cicero. We hope each Rocky Point family has a wonderful thanksgiving and remembers that we are thankful for each one of you during this holiday season and always!
