Today in Mrs. Allen’s class, second grade students spent Fundations in teams racing to create the most words from a list of base words and suffixes. Then they got super excited to receive their first pen pal letters from the 8th grade Family and Consumer Science Class at SCM! Students couldn’t wait to start their responses!
Good afternoon. Bus 287 will not leave our campus until 4:15 this afternoon. If you would like to make other arrangements, please contact your child's teacher or email sce_info@pender.k12.nc.us
Thank you.
Thank you.
🍎💕 Little hands, big learning! Today Ms. Pleasant's PreK class made homemade applesauce. They practiced reading a recipe, washed and cut the apples, and worked together to make a treat. It wasn’t everyone’s favorite to eat, but they sure had fun making it! 🥰
💚🍳 Would you eat green eggs and ham? Ms. Newhouse’s first graders gave it a try! After exploring Dr. Seuss’s classic story and practicing their reading skills, these first graders brought Green Eggs and Ham to life with a special feast, discovering that trying something new can be a whole lot of fun! 📚
Happy Monday! Ms. Gray & Ms. Mizell's 4th grade team is starting the week with new adventures! 📚✨In ELA, students read their new story in groups as they kick off their Extreme Setting Module. While in Social Studies, students are learning all about the three regions of NC.

🧡Join us in showing support for Bullying Prevention Awareness by wearing ORANGE this week! 🧡
Wearing orange is a simple way to remind our school community that bullying prevention starts with the choices we make every day—using kind words, including others, standing up for classmates, and asking an adult for help when something doesn’t feel right.
Even small acts of kindness can make a BIG difference. 🧡

This week we're wearing yellow to show our support for Special Needs Awareness 💛 We learned that everyone learns, moves, communicates, and experiences the world in different ways — and that makes our school special.
Walking nachos are a student favorite at Surf City Elementary and Middle schools, but cafeteria manager Toni Toby’s favorite part of the day is seeing the smiling faces of students from pre-K through eighth grade. 😊
For National School Lunch Week, we stopped by the kitchen for a look at the work that goes into preparing lunch.
Thank you to the Surf City cafeteria team and school nutrition staff across Pender County Schools for keeping our students fed and ready to learn! 🍎 YouTube Link - https://youtube.com/shorts/t8UKUdgJ_OE

Ms. Collins' 5th graders were engaged in a test prep activity where students worked in teams answering questions on current math standards they are learning. If teams got the question correct they got to put an unknown bill in their team’s envelope. At the end of the activity, teams counted up their earnings to see who won.
What a wonderful project in Ms. Brunjes' first grade class. They drew self-portraits to explore their identity and express how they see themselves, and it fit perfectly with what they are learning in Wit and Wisdom — and some Fun Friday Pumpkin Painting 🎃
October is packed with fun ways to connect, support our school, and make a splash! 💙 Mark your calendars so you don’t miss out:

Wearing yellow is a simple way to remind our school community that inclusion matters. Every student deserves to feel welcomed, valued, supported, and included.

Check out Ms. Pressler's 2nd graders! This week they have been reading informational texts and searching for text features. Today they worked in small groups to create an informational poster about spiders to show what they learned! Their posters feature diagrams, titles, photos and captions and other text features. 🕷✍
