Weekly Gator Announcements

You may have heard by now that our principal for the past 4 years, Dr. Gail Pylant, has retired after 36 1/2 years of servicing the students, families and staff of Onslow County Schools. We extend a warm and heartfelt thanks to her many years. She has left a big impact on many.

We are THRILLED and EXCITED to announce that our Assistant Principal, Mr. Gary Cassidy, has stepped in as Interim Principal and Mrs. Amanda Muirhead has been named Interim Assistant Principal for Hunters Creek Elementary School.

On March 15th, all are invited to join Mrs. Toomer and her second grade class to help save Hunters Creek and clean it up. (The actual creek)

Wear long pants, long sleeves and gloves, as well as long socks and sturdy shoes. Please bring rakes, axes, or any cutting tool you may have.

This is a wonderful family project to give back to our community.

Mr. Lynch, our Fabulous PE Teacher, is in search of 6-8 5 gallon buckets in new/slightly used condition. If you have one or more you would like to donate, he would be most grateful! Thank you.
