🌧️ Glow Run Rescheduled! 🌧️
Unfortunately, the weather isn't cooperating tonight, so we've made the decision to reschedule our event for THIS SUNDAY, November 8, at 5:00 PM!
The earlier start will give us more daylight on the course and allow our Run Club students to celebrate their end-of-season milestone!
Please note: Our Finish Line Foam Party will not be available on Sunday.
We understand this unexpected change may not work for everyone. If the new date or lack of foam party is a deal breaker, please reach out so we can make things right.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding! We hope to see everyone Sunday! 💚

Dear Pender County Families,
This November, Pender County Schools is inviting students and families to Fall Into Reading! 📚🍂
Our goal is to read 20 Minutes a Day across our 19 schools during the month of November.
The best part? Reading can happen anytime, anywhere! Students can read at home, at school, outside, in the car, before bedtime, or anywhere they find a good book.
We encourage families to make reading part of your daily routine. Even 20 minutes of reading each day can make a meaningful difference.
How can your family participate?
📖 Find something your child enjoys reading.
⏰ Set aside time for reading each day.
👨👩👧 Read together when possible.
📝 Log reading minutes using the PCS Google Form.

🎉 Celebrate every minute!
Every reader. Every minute. Every day. Together, we can reach our goal!
Thank you for helping us build strong, confident, lifelong readers!

After reading The Little Red Hen, Ms. Meadow’s PreK students kicked off their new Creative Curriculum unit all about BREAD by starting their very own Amish Friendship Bread! 🥖 They're excited to share their delicious creation with their PreK partner classes, spreading kindness and friendship one loaf at a time! ❤️








Tomorrow is the day!! The weather may not be the best, but that won't stop us! Our Glow Run will take place rain or shine, and at the moment it looks like it might be a little damp. (The bright side- it won't be cold, and there aren't any storms in the forecast.)
