Happy Sunday Pirate Families!
This will be a short and simple week with our 5th grade taking a field trip to Trinity Center. Tomorrow's field trip will include Reibly, Snyder, and half of Durand’s class and on Tuesday Lawrence, O’Brien, and the other half of Durand’s class will go to the Trinity Center.
Tuesday is the last school day of November, so please check lost & found before items are donated. Tuesday evening is our Pizza Hut Spirit Night, so stop by from 4-8 pm to grab some dinner and check out our Kindergarten teachers serving up some pizza.
If you are in need of holiday assistance, please contact our school counselor at carrie.jackson@onslow.k12.nc.us or give her a call at 910-326-1501.
