Week of February 14, 2022
Good afternoon Surf City Families,
This is Principal Bridgers with your weekly announcements.
We had a FANTASTIC start to our first in-person Book Fair in over 2 years! It will run through Friday, 2/18. We are running a bit low on coins, so please send coins with your student, if possible, to help them make exact (or close to it) change. You can also put money in their e-Wallet by following our Book Fair link. Unused funds are returned to you. Thanks so much for your support! https://www.scholastic.com/bf/surfcitymiddleschool1
February 16th: teacher workday (no school for students)
Yearbooks: www.strawbridge.net The school code is YB113129.

The boys and girls basketball teams both won 3 games this week. The girls are in 1st place at 6-0, and the boys are in 2nd at 5-1. Monday, they travel to Burgaw, and Thursday will be the home game vs. Topsail Middle.
Players interested in trying out for baseball should look for a sign-up sheet posted near the office starting this week. Tryouts will be after spring break.
Soccer players: please turn in your jerseys.
It’s a great week to be a Shark!
******SCMS PTA NEWS & UPDATES******
BRICK PAVER FUNDRAISER! SUPPORT YOUR SCHOOL & LEAVE YOUR MARK!! >>>>>>>>> Our latest fundraiser is the gift that keeps on giving! Purchase a memorial brick for your student, family, or someone special for $75! These special bricks will be engraved with a name, date, and a shark (optional) and will be used to build a walkway to our athletic fields along with a brick welcome sign! Not only will this make a great gift for 8th-grade students, but it is a great way for families, businesses, and other supporters to get involved and show their pride in our school! The funds raised will go directly back into capital improvements projects with a focus on our outdoor areas and athletic fields. Not only is the a money-maker but the bricks will be used to beautify our school grounds!
