- The Pender County Sheriff's Office LOVES our opportunities to collaborate with Pender County Schools and appreciate the time we are allowed to interact with the students. One way we do this is through the D.A.R.E. program for 5th and 7th graders. Now we need EVERYONE'S help!. Our D.A.R.E. cars won 1st and 2nd place in the NC D.A.R.E. Officer's Association Conference this year. We are now entered in the D.A.R.E. America National Car Show and Competition. This is a virtual car show and the winners will be determined by the number of votes received. I would love to see a 1st and 2nd place repeat at the national level. The vehicles are strong enough to compete on that level but the amount of support that we enjoy in the community is what will put us over the top. Please take 30 seconds to visit this website for the car show and cast your vote for one of our D.A.R.E. vehicles. Please also feel free to share this link with friends and family to help us bring this win home for our students. https://dare.org/d-a-r-e-car-show-vote/
- The NC Spot Festival is coming to Hampstead on November 7–8! Since 1963, this community tradition has celebrated the Spot fish and the coastal community of Hampstead. Originally started as a fundraiser for the local fire department, the festival now supports schools on the Hampstead/Topsail side of Pender County. Last year, the Spot Festival Board of Directors distributed $36,000 to our local schools, with proceeds allocated based on volunteer hours worked. This is a wonderful opportunity to support our school community while being part of a long-standing local tradition! Volunteers are needed! Families can help make a difference by signing up for a volunteer shift. Every hour worked helps support our local schools and students.
👉 Sign up to volunteer for the NC Spot Festival!
Thank you for supporting our school community!
