As Read Across America week comes to an end, we enjoyed wearing pajamas and comfy clothes because it’s fun to cozy up with a good book! 📚✨
We're happy to share with you that Finley from Ms. Carmichael's 4th grade class is our Sea Turtle of the Week. Finley, your school is proud of you. 💙🐢💚
After reading "The Clumsy Click Beetle", Mrs. Meadows had her PreK class make their own click beetles and predict if it would land on its feet or back. 🪲🔄

Meet our Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Curry and our Beginning Teacher of the Year, Ms. Lagnese— two hearts full of dedication, big ideas, and endless patience. Drop some 💙 in the comments for these two amazing teachers!
Congratulations to our Battle of the Books team. They competed hard today and it paid off, 2nd place! Your school is proud of you. 🥈🏆📖
The Master gardeners taught a lesson on plants today. Ms. Curry's first graders also planted lettuce and will water it each day. Once it is fully grown, they will harvest it to take to the sea turtle hospital for the sea turtles to enjoy.🐢🥬👩🌾
Good luck to these awesome kids today. They are on their way to compete in the Battle of the Books competition at South Topsail Elementary. 📚

Ever see kindness in action? ✨Yesterday, these responsible student volunteers were chosen to escort mystery readers around the school. Their smiles and helpfulness made the day extra special⭐️📚
Ready, set, add! 🏁 Ms. Emery’s first grade class practiced adding 2‑digit and 1‑digit numbers with a fast‑paced “Math Race” — speed, smiles, and math wins all around. 🤗
What a fun afternoon! To prepare our Battle of the Books team, some teachers came to to battle them. It was a close, but the students came out on top. Thank you to all staff members who read books and came to support our team. 📚✨
Reminder: Tuesday, March 3, 2026 is a Teacher Workday. There is no school for students.
Both routes of bus 291 will be combined as a first route this week. If your child usually rides the 2nd route, they may be about 20 minutes early. Bus 284 and 288 have sub drivers today. This may affect arrival times slightly. Thank you!
This week we're celebrating Read Across America Week! 📚✨ This special week is all about inspiring a love of books and building a community of lifelong readers. Today we wore our SCE shirts because Sea Turtles are strong readers. We also enjoyed many special guest readers who shared wonderful stories with us. 💗
Guess who loved EOG prep yesterday? 🙋♀️🙋♂️ Ms. Collin’s 5th graders! These mathematicians used Plickers to review and it was a hit! Students loved watching their cards get scanned, seeing the live percentage correct, and checking which answer choices classmates picked. The instant feedback turned review into a game and sparked great conversations about strategies. 🎯📊✨
