Our 6th grade students brought history to life during their Wax Museum presentations! 🎭✨

Students researched important figures, created costumes, and shared what they learned by becoming “living exhibits.” It was amazing to see their creativity, confidence, and hard work on display as they taught others about their chosen historical figures.

Great job, 6th grade! 👏

Our Kindergarten, Pre-K, and ECS students had an exciting visit from the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher Outreach Program! 🐢

Students enjoyed an engaging presentation all about the different turtles found right here in North Carolina. They learned fun facts about turtle habitats, how they survive in the wild, and how we can help protect these amazing animals.

Thank you to the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher for bringing this hands-on learning experience to our students!
