When 7th grade finishes lunch early, it’s card-playing time! And, we've got a Scrabble game going in the media center. Bringing back some old fashioned fun!
Thanks so much to our amazing PTA for noticing our drink machine was out of order and leaving us a cooler of ice cold drinks! Y'all make our days easier and brighter! Thank you!
📚✨ First Chapter Friday success! ✨📚
Last week, Mrs. Pratt shared the opening chapter of Restart by Gordon Korman with her 7th graders. This week these two were so hooked that they went straight to the library to check it out themselves!

Thank you to the Walmart Neighborhood Market Surf City for thinking of our staff and ending our week with some delicious donuts! It was a greatly appreciated treat. We also used some of the extras to treat some students who have been stupendous Sharks this week!
Sharks are enjoying our early mornings! The real question is can we actually complete the 1000 piece Lego mini figure heads puzzle by the end of the year?? That one is tough!
From the PTA....

Students in Mr. Sandrik’s class collaborating to piece together America’s “birth certificate,” the Walseemüller map (1507)
Yesterday in Mrs. Dapper’s class, students practiced teamwork by putting together a puzzle made up of pieces that represent each of them. A fun way to show how every student is an important part of our classroom community!
Good evening Surf City Sharks. Bus 322 will be approximately two hours late tomorrow morning. If you can find alternate transportation for you child, it will be greatly appreciated. We are sorry for this inconvenience.
Overheard today....

It's going to be a great year!

🚍 We know the first day of the three-tier schedule brought some challenges, while we continue to work to make improvements there is a free tool that can be helpful for families - the Here Comes the Bus app.
With this free app, parents can:
✅ See their child’s bus location on a map
✅ Get alerts when the bus is near your stop or school
✅ Gain peace of mind with notifications when the bus arrives in your area
The good news is that traffic flow improved by 30 minutes in some areas after adjustments from day one. While we continue to make changes, the Here Comes the Bus app can provide extra confidence and convenience for families.
