Today Pender Public Schools was reminded just how special our community truly is.

Just in case you notice a change in your students lunch balance, please know a generous individual recently stepped forward and paid off all outstanding student lunch balances — no recognition requested, just a desire to help.

This act of kindness lifts a burden for families and ensures our students can focus on what matters most: learning, growing, and being kids.

To this incredible donor — thank you. Your generosity makes a difference in ways you may never fully see.

Let’s all continue to look for simple ways to show up for one another. Kindness matters.

We had fun today being paleontologist. We excavated dinosaur bones (chocolate chips) from the earth (cookie) using a special took (a toothpick). We discovered many bones in the earth.
