  • Good afternoon Sharks!  This is Principal Bridgers with your weekly announcements.  

  • Fundraiser:  Thank you for your support!  We broke our fundraising goal of $20,000!!!  Final totals will be announced once all financials are settled with Boosterthon.  Since we had to postpone our Color Run to tomorrow, April 17th-still during grade level encore classes, the donation website and opportunities for earning prizes will be open  through Sunday, April 16th at 11:59 pm.  All prize winners (homeroom, top earners, raffle drawings, etc.) will be announced on Monday, April 24th!!!  We will continue to pass out office prizes until our list is complete.  Reminders for the Color Run:  all students are invited to run!  You did not have to participate in raising money for the fundraiser in order to participate in the fun.  If you do not want your child to run in the Color Run, please email the front office email by 11:59 pm on Sunday, April 16th.  scm_info@pender.k12.nc.us  What to wear to a Color Run?  Wear gray or white to show off the color splashes best…it will get messy!  Your child will be allowed to change clothes after the run if they choose to do so.
