Surf City Elementary

We're happy to share with you that Arianna from Ms. Stewart's 3rd grade class is our Sea Turtle of the Week! Arianna, your school is proud of you. 💙🐢💚

Twenty-five years later, we remember.

On September 11, 2001, thousands of lives were lost, families were forever changed, and first responders answered an unimaginable call.

Today, Pender County Schools pauses to remember those who died, honor those who served and sacrificed in the years that followed, and recognize the families and communities who continue to carry the impact of that day.

For our students, September 11 is history. It is our responsibility to help them understand why we remember.

🇺🇸 We will never forget.

Multiplication in action! Mrs. Gruber’s third graders teamed up for a hands-on card sort to match different models of the same multiplication expression. Lots of teamwork, thinking, and math fun as they sharpened their new skills!

Bus 284 students will ride Bus 241 this morning.

The afternoon route for Bus 287 will continue to be split for the remainder of this week. We have secured a substitute driver for the morning route, so morning transportation will run as usual.

For the afternoons, Bus 287 students will be divided by location:

Groves Point stops → Bus 279
Jeff Land and King Drive stops → Bus 281
Manhollow Church Road, Hwy 17, and Demps Road stops → Bus 280
Watts Landing Road area stops → Bus 287, departing SCE at approximately 3:45 PM

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and flexibility.

If you would like to change your child's afternoon transportation, please contact your child's teacher or email sce_info@pender.k12.nc.us.

☕🍩 Coffee + donuts + the BEST community = a pretty sweet morning! 💙🐢

A HUGE thank you to Daybreak Donuts and Surf City Starbucks for generously donating donuts and coffee for our SCE Teacher Appreciation Breakfast! We’re so grateful for local businesses that show up for our school and help us spoil our amazing teachers and staff. 💕

Mrs. Metivier’s 3rd grade class kicked off their map unit with a hands-on, collaborative activity! Students worked together to create a model of a chosen landform or water form, using creativity and teamwork to bring their ideas to life. Once their models were complete, students proudly presented them to the class! ⛰️🏞️

Bus 288 students are on bus 284. They left our campus at 4:40. Thank you! Have a great weekend.

Bus 290 routes will be combined today. The bus may be about 10 minutes early for the second run stops. Thank you.

Thankful for this awesome community & Grier who came back to help fix the door to the LFL. It’s now made out of white marine starboard and a new Lexan clear sheet, that is almost indestructible. Time to load it back up with some great books! 💙🐢💚📚
