What an inspiring day! Our 7th grade class toured the Battleship North Carolina in Wilmington and left with new facts and a greater respect for the people who served on board during the war.

Mrs. Schlegel’s CTE sewing class made animal bandanas and donated them to Pender County Animal Shelter — what a way to share the love at TMS! 🐾

Big congratulations to our Topsail Battle of the Books team for winning FIRST PLACE at regionals! 🏆📚 Their hard work and teamwork paid off, and they’re advancing to the state competition. Way to go, students and coaches!

Our spring sports pep rally was a blast — team games, laughter, and one unforgettable finish: a 40-yard kick and Mr. Brittain’s head shaved clean!

Last week our amazing PTO celebrated Teacher Appreciation early and we felt truly cared for! We enjoyed breakfast from Wendy’s, Sheetz, and McDonald’s, a delicious catered lunch from City Cafe, and a rejuvenating tune-up from Dr. B of Alpha Osteopractic. Thank you to everyone who made our week so special — we appreciate you!

**TMS ATHLETICS** Just a reminder that our TMS Baseball Game is being played at Kiwanis Park this afternoon. (Smith Field) Parents please pick up your athletes from Kiwanis after the game.

Congratulations to the 8th grade band! They traveled to Ashley HS this week for the annual state Music Performance Adjudication. They came back with the highest scores they've had since 2016, with an overall rating of "Excellent" and a "Superior" rating in sight reading. Please congratulate these students on their great performance. And yes, don't be alarmed if you see Mr. Norem's hair a different color in the next few weeks.

Seventh grade students at Topsail Middle School recently took an exciting step in their career development journey by using NCcareers.org to connect their personal interests to potential high school electives and future careers. This interactive platform allows students to explore careers, identify their strengths, and learn about the education and training needed for various pathways .

Led by our Middle School Career Development Coordinator and school counselors, Ms. Wood and Mr. Einspahr, students brainstormed career possibilities and began making meaningful connections between their interests and future opportunities.

A special thank you to our middle school science teachers for hosting and supporting this experience. This activity represents another important step in each student’s North Carolina Career Development Plan, helping them build a strong foundation for future success.
