🌟 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!

Our Military Ball for our Military students and parents is tomorrow night! I am making a plea for donations of cookies. Our plan for cookies fell through, the place we ordered from canceled the order today because they were unable to fulfill the order. Asking for STORE BOUGHT Choco chip, M&M, Sugar and Gluten free. If possible could you drop them off to the elementary office any time during the Student showcase (5-7pm) or tomorrow by 2pm, that would be greatly appreciated!

Ms. Withers' Pre-K class completed designing houses that they placed in the container they used to plant grass seed. Her class discussed what it takes to make something grow and can't wait to watch their lawns grow so that they can cut them over the next few weeks. 🌱

Dear Surf City Elementary Families,
At approximately 10:55 a.m. today, the fire alarm sounded on the campuses of Surf City Elementary School and Surf City Middle School. In accordance with our safety procedures, students and staff immediately evacuated the buildings while the situation was assessed.
The Surf City Fire Department responded and conducted a thorough check of both campuses. The buildings have been cleared by the fire department, and students and staff have safely returned inside. Learning has resumed in both buildings.
We appreciate the quick response of our local first responders and the cooperation of our students and staff, who followed safety procedures exactly as expected.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Surf City School Administration
