The STE Kindergarten team did a great job at the PCS Kindergarten Registration event! Fun was had by all!

Bus Drivers from PCS attended the 23-24 Local Bus Roadeo in Brunswick County. Pender, Brunswick and New Hanover county drivers enjoyed a day of showing off their driving skills.
Drivers were scored off 6 different maneuvers set up by DMV.
The top 3 drivers from each county will have the opportunity to participate at the district level in Fayetteville the end of April. More information coming on this soon.
I am beyond excited to announce that all scores from all 3 counties were announced and PCS held 1st and 3rd place!!!

The 5th Graders at STES celebrated the end of Module 2 and The Phantom Tollbooth with a Royal Banquet which was adapted from a scene in the novel. Students further celebrated the wordplay learned in the Module by dressing up and participating in a "Pun Parade" through the school. Students dressed as "Head in the Clouds", "Break a Leg", "Eyes in the Back of Your Head", "Raining Cats and Dogs" to name a few. The 5th grade teachers all dressed as characters from the novel - The Princesses Rhyme and Reason, The Mathemagician and Dr. Discord were all represented! Parents really were the heroes of the day making the vision come to life!
