Science and storytelling were on full display today at TCS! 🧪📚
At TCS, our 5th graders knocked it out of the park with their Science Experiment projects and ELA Biography research. From testing hypotheses to stepping into the shoes of historical icons, these students showed incredible hard work, creativity, and inquiry.
So proud of our young scientists and historians! 🌟

These Tabor City School students met their Accelerated Reader goals during the first three terms of school. They had a blast at Fun Warehouse in Myrtle Beach! The students enjoyed a day of roller skating, laser tag, arcade games, and a pizza lunch. Hats off to these Accelerated Readers at Tabor City for meeting their goals two out of three nine weeks of school!

A moment of reflection from a 2nd grade teacher (Mrs. Cribb) at TCS.
"There’s something unforgettable about watching learning come to life—literally. Hatching chickens in the classroom has been one of the best hands-on learning experiences I’ve ever been part of.
From the moment the eggs were placed in the incubator, curiosity took over. Students weren’t just reading about life cycles—they were observing them in real time. Every day brought new excitement and deeper understanding.
And then came hatch day… the quiet peeping, the first cracks, and finally the moment a chick breaks free. You could feel the room shift—pure awe, pride, and connection. Experiences like this spark curiosity, responsibility, and empathy in ways that traditional lessons just can’t match. Hands-on learning isn’t just effective—it’s powerful, memorable, and meaningful.
This is the kind of learning that sticks"🐥💙

The fable, The Ant and the Grasshopper, was performed at Tabor City School on Tuesday, April 14 by Pork Chop Productions Theatre. The live performance included a hard working ant and a lazy grasshopper who was busy being a social media influencer.
The performance taught an important lesson of ‘how hard work pays off.’ Other morals (life lessons) were also presented throughout the play. It was enjoyed by all!

At TCS, 5th grade students took part in conservation efforts by growing Venus Flytraps in their classroom to replant at Carolina Beach State Park, on the Venus Flytrap Trail, which is the ecosystem they can be found. Venus Flytraps are only found in North Carolina and South Carolina in the coastal areas, no where else do they grow. The Park Ranger told us that people come from all over the world to visit that park just to see the Venus Flytraps in our very own backyard.
