  • Sports Report:  The basketball teams finish their regular season with a home game Monday against Cape Fear, and then will travel to West Pender Thursday.  After defeating the Topsail Middle girls team, they remain undefeated for the season last week.

  • OMKC:  OMKC is preparing for the Month of the Military Child in April and we need your help. If you have not yet registered your child for the club (which meets after school on the 3rd Friday of each month), please go to:  http://operationmilitarykidsclubs.com.  Every military kid registered with OMKC by March 1st will be getting a star to represent them at their school during the month of April as we recognize all the military kids who make our schools shine.  Then, in place of club at the school in April, we will be hosting the Freedom Family Fest at Kiwanis Park on April 30th from 1-4pm, for all our military kids and their families!  Mark your calendars and plan to join us for the fun!

  • Student reminder:  Please remind your children that strong smelling sprays and lotions, especially in enclosed areas, can be difficult and damaging to  those around you whose respiratory systems can be sensitive to such fragrances.  Please be mindful of others.
