Students in Mrs. Forbis’ 2nd grade class have spent the past few weeks learning about and observing the life cycle of the Painted Lady Butterfly. They have watched as their tiny caterpillars grew, went into their chrysalis, and emerged as beautiful orange butterflies. Today they were able to release all six of their butterflies and they cheered as they watched them fly away.
Check out these awesome submissions from our Reading With My Peeps photo contest. Winners will be announced Thursday morning on the Student News. https://bit.ly/4jbNjP8

Join us in celebrating Military Spirit Week next week, April 14-18.
Some of our fifth graders visited Sturgeon City today and learned about our ecosystem through hands-on activities and collaboration.
Today, Ms. Meadows PreK class read the story My Magnificent Jelly Bean Tree. After the story, the children planted their very own jelly bean and had the chance to imagine what might grow from it. They then drew their predictions on paper to create pages for their class book. To finish off the fun, the students took part in a magical egg scavenger hunt, following clues to discover hidden eggs!
We're happy to announce that Abraham from Ms. Montaruli's Kindergarten class is our second Sea Turtle of the Week for the week of April 7-11 . Abraham, your school is proud of you. 💙🐢💚

Good Morning Surf City Families,

Dear Sea Turtle Families,
It is with deep sadness that I share the news of the passing of Ms. Brenda Travers, former Receptionist at Surf City Elementary, and a valued member of our school community. While I did not have the privilege of knowing her personally, I have heard countless stories from staff and families about her incredible sense of humor, her strength, and her welcoming nature.
Ms. Brenda made a lasting impact on all those she encountered, bringing warmth, laughter, and a sense of belonging to everyone she worked with. Her dedication to our students and the school community was truly remarkable, and her spirit will continue to live on through the memories she leaves behind.
Please join me in honoring her memory and celebrating the positive influence she had on Surf City Elementary and our community.
Sincerely,
Trey Bailey
Surf City Elementary Principal
