STRIDE is the YMCA's boy version of GOTR. We are excited to have STRIDE available this spring as well. We have a wonderful parent volunteer who will be coaching the boys for us.

Stride will welcome our 3rd and 4th grade boys. We will meet on Mondays and Thursdays from 2:30 - 4 pm. The season will run from March 11th - May 18th.

We will only be opening up a limited number of spots on a first come, first serve basis. Please use this link to sign up. Once it is filled, we will not be opening any other spots. Our coach will reach out to you for full registration once you have completed the sign up genius.

All PCS schools will be hosting a kinder registration event on March 13th. This is a great event to get your kinder students registered for the 24-25 school year! Come out and play games, eat some good food, enter some raffles, and have some fun!

One of Pender County's initiatives this year is to bolster student attendance. We know that the more students are in attendance, the more successful they are. Our goal is to have a 95% average attendance. See below for our current attendance data.

Students:

September 96.57%

October 94.74%

November 95.12%

December 91.58%

Yearly Avg - 94.5%
