📚🍟 Fries for School Supplies is Back! 🍟📚
We are excited to announce that for the second year in a row, our local McDonald’s owner-operators are hosting the Fries for School Supplies fundraiser in our school district!
Last year, over $110,000 was raised for our area schools, and we’re aiming to do even more this year! 🎉
From August 26th to 30th, McDonald’s will donate 10% of sales from all a la carte Fries to help support our schools. It’s a delicious way to contribute to our community! 🙌


✂️ Back-to-School Haircuts! ✂️
Cape Fear Community College is offering free haircuts this Saturday, August 24, from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Barber School located at 108 Walnut St.
No appointments needed—just walk in! All haircuts will be supervised by a licensed instructor and are first-come, first-served. Remember, students under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Get ready for the new school year with a fresh look!

West Pender Middle School students rocked the CFCC Career Academy! 🎉 For two amazing weeks, our future leaders explored exciting careers like nursing, firefighting, and drone piloting. They got hands-on experience in dental labs, climbed aboard fire trucks, and even flew drones! 🦷🚒🛩️
From electrical work to nail tech, our students tried it all. They used high-tech equipment and learned from experts in fields like radiography, truck driving, and law enforcement. 👨🔧👮♀️🚛
The program wrapped up with a celebration where students showed off their new skills. Congrats to our West Pender stars for their hard work and newfound career inspiration! 🌟 #OnePender
