We are shouting CONGRATULATIONS to Alice Kaemmer. Alice is a first grader in Mrs. Pierce's class. Her artwork was selected for Pender County's Superintendent's Christmas Card. She was recognized at the School Board Meeting last night. I are so proud of you Alice!




Brrrrr... It is cold outside.
As the weather continues to change, please make sure your child comes to school with appropriate outdoor clothing. We go outside daily for recess when weather permits and having items like a warm coat, hat, gloves, and proper footwear helps keep students comfortable and ready to learn and play.
Thank you for helping us ensure all students are prepared for outdoor activities! ☀️🧤🧥🌧️

In music class this week, 2nd grade students are using handbells to play some favorite Christmas carols. With teamwork, careful listening, and tons of holiday spirit, they turned simple notes into magical melodies!

A BIG thanks to Ms. Davidson, our Instructional Technology Specialist, who taught all 2nd grade classes how to create a digital book and all the skills that go along with it. Students will use these skills to create a Johnny Appleseed book during their upcoming Wit & Wisdom unit.
