5th graders from NTES and SCE came today for information and tours! We are excited to welcome these new sharks next year! Our Megalodons did a fantastic job making this event special!
SCMS 8th grade A Day Theatre class performed an adaptation of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Students created set pieces and props to represent the Chocolate Factory. The students performed amazingly well. They had the crowd laughing and clapping. One audience member said, " That was so awesome!" Another audience member said, " I loved it!" Mrs. Council, the theatre arts teacher, was so very proud of her students. Way to go!
There will be a second meeting for those interested in band class on Wednesday at 6pm. This meeting will cover all information for the class. Fuller’s music will also be here for instrument rentals! Students will be able to hold the instruments and will also be able to reserve their own instrument for next school year. If there are any questions, please email Mr. Judy at trevor_judy@pender.k12.nc.us

Teacher Tuesday: Ms. Brandi Stettler — SCMS💙📘
Ms. Brandi Stettler serves students at SCMS and is known for her steady support and commitment to helping students succeed both in school and beyond. Staff and families describe her as someone who takes time to build real connections and supports students through a wide range of needs.
What stands out most about Ms. Stettler is her genuine care for students and families. She focuses on relationships and works to make sure students feel supported, especially during challenging situations.
One recent example shared in her nomination involved a meeting with grandparents who had just taken custody of a student. They arrived feeling overwhelmed and unsure. During the meeting, Ms. Stettler recognized them from more than 20 years ago. That connection immediately changed the tone of the conversation. What could have been a stressful meeting became more comfortable and supportive. The grandparents left feeling more at ease and better prepared to move forward.
Moments like this reflect the importance of relationships in schools and the role staff play in supporting families during difficult times.
Thank you, Ms. Stettler, for the care and support you provide to students and families at SCMS. 💛✅
