We hope you are enjoying your Memorial Day weekend! Last week was a special week in the boro'! We hosted our Orchestra concert on Monday, our Tri-M recital on Tuesday, showcased some amazing talent on Wednesday at the talent show, recognized our student athletes on Thursday, cheered for Swansboro High School seniors as they walked our halls in their caps and gowns on Friday morning and encouraged our students with an EOG PEP rally on Friday afternoon. It's clearly great to be a Pirate!

This coming week is an important week for our community. We kick off our end-of-year testing on Wednesday. It is essential that students are well-rested and arrive at school on time daily for testing. Parents of students who are interested in orchestra or band in 17/18 are invited to an instrumental music meeting on Tuesday with sessions at 4:30 or 6:00 pm. Please note that Parent Portal accounts in PowerSchools will be closed on Friday, June 2 in order for teachers to finalize grades and manually enter test results.

Looking ahead a few weeks, our Pirate Parents are undertaking a renovation of our concession stand. They are revamping the concession stand which will enable us to sell hot food at games such as hot dogs, nachos, etc. Demolition day will occur on Monday, June 12 but we need volunteers. If you are handy and would like to help, please contact Dr. Crystal Howard at crystal.howard@onslow.k12.nc.us or at (910) 326-3601.
