🌟 Feature Friday: Employee Spotlight 🌟
This week we’re recognizing Mrs. Nakesha Oliver, Receptionist at Surf City Elementary School.
Mrs. Oliver keeps the front office running each day. She manages the door, answers phones, greets visitors, and helps students—all while keeping things organized and moving. She handles a lot at once and does it in a calm, steady way.
She also looks for ways to improve how things are done. If there’s a task that needs attention or a process that can be better organized, she takes care of it. She supports staff, helps with paperwork, and makes sure people get what they need.
Mrs. Oliver is dependable and always willing to step in where she’s needed. Her work helps the school stay on track throughout the day.
💛💙 Thank you, Mrs. Oliver, for the support you provide to Surf City Elementary each day.

Happy Friday! We experienced a brief period of time this morning with plumbing issues on our campus. Pender County Maintenance were quick to respond and our custodial staff were working along side of them to fix our issues. Students did have the gym bathrooms available for use while the repairs to the system were being made.
We had district support and the problems were completely resolved. Everything was operating back to normal within a short amount of time. Thank you to the custodians, plumbers and maintenance for your help this morning!
