🔍 Push or Pull? Ms. Wiggins’ kindergarten scientists are exploring force and motion! Students worked with partners to examine pictures, decide whether each showed a push or a pull, and sort them on a chart. Through teamwork and discussion, these young scientists discovered how forces make things move! 🔬💡

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

🧡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. 🧡
