We need your help at Surf City Elementary. Our awesome staff members who work morning car duty do such an amazing job in the cold, rain, and wind this winter greeting your students and supervising them as they enter the building. We release 15 cars at a time to help expedite the line as much as possible! We make sure each child is safe getting to the sidewalk and into the building. Unfortunately, we have had some parents refuse to let their children out of the car until they are directly in front of the building. We certainly understand we have had some cold days, but the walk is super quick and not letting your child out in order is holding the entire line up. Thank you so much for helping us with this issue!

A few more fun pictures from last week. Ms. Brunjes 1st grade class celebrated Valentine’s Day with a fun graphing activity to make learning hands-on and meaningful. While Ms. Stewart and Ms. Lagnese's 4th grade classes teamed up for some Valentine’s Day fun with Multiplication Bingo. Students sharpened their multiplication facts while enjoying a festive afternoon full of learning and smiles! 💝
