Attendance Tiger Update!

Hi everyone—it’s me, your Attendance Tiger! I’ve had the best two days visiting Mrs. Ellison’s 4th grade class!

From the moment I arrived, I noticed how much fun this group has together while still working hard and showing up ready to learn. It made my stripes proud to see such great attendance and teamwork in action!

I sure will miss spending time (and snapping photos!) with this amazing class. But I know this isn’t goodbye forever—just “see you later!” I’m excited that there will be so many more photo opportunities waiting for them next year at the middle school.

I’ll be keeping a close eye on the Wirt County Middle School Facebook page so I can see all the fun activities and celebrate the awesome academic accomplishments that are ahead. Keep showing up, doing your best, and making me proud!

Remember…every day counts!

Foam Party Fun at WCPC!

A little rain couldn’t dampen our celebration at Wirt County Primary Center! 🌧️

Our students worked hard to earn LiveSchool points, and they reached their goal. To celebrate their success, they received a bubbly reward they won’t forget!

Thanks to Mr. McCulty and Ms. Richards, the foam machines were running all afternoon under the shelter, with music playing and bubbles flowing. Our students danced, laughed, and made the most of every minute—even with the rainy weather!

What a perfect way to celebrate their achievements and wrap up the school year. The last day of school truly couldn’t have been any more fun! 🫧

Surf’s up in Mrs. Wheeland’s class!

Students traded their desks for a day of sunshine and celebration during a Beach Bash to recognize their amazing growth in iReady Reading and Math! 🏖️

From the moment you walked in, it felt like a tropical getaway—complete with colorful leis, cool shades, and smiles as bright as the summer sun. With all of their beachy gear, it looked like a hula dance or a beach ball game might break out at any moment—but these students have definitely been working hard all year long! Their dedication paid off, and this fun-filled celebration was the perfect way to honor their progress. 😎

To top it all off, the class cooled down with a sweet ice cream treat—because nothing says “job well done” quite like a scoop (or two!) on a beach day. The second-to-last day of school couldn’t have been any sweeter! 🍦

Way to go, Mrs. Wheeland’s class!

Swing Batta Batta Swing!

Our 3rd & 4th graders faced off in an exciting wiffle ball tournament, and it was full of action from start to finish! Some balls were hit 💥, some balls were missed , and some were caught with great plays …but most importantly, EVERYONE had a blast!

The energy, teamwork, and friendly competition made it a home run kind of day!

THIRD GRADE = FOOD DRIVE CHAMPIONS!

And how do we celebrate a big win? With SILLY STRING… of course!

This morning, our amazing 3rd graders kicked off the second-to-last day of school in the most unforgettable way—by earning the right to Silly String our principal, Mrs. Taylor, in a school assembly after bringing in the MOST donations for the food drive! 🥫

Mrs. Taylor came ready (we’re talking protective gear AND a game plan 😎)…but let’s just say the 3rd graders brought their A-game. Despite her best efforts, she ended up wrapped in a colorful web of gooey, giggly chaos! 🌈

The crowd on the bleachers loved every second (lots of laughs & cheers), while the lucky students with the cans were basically living their best lives. Dreams DO come true, 3rd grade!

What a FUN and messy way to celebrate kindness, teamwork, and giving back to our community

Way to go, 3rd grade! You’ve officially earned the title of Silly String Superstars! 🌟

4th Grade Graduation Celebration !

Today we celebrated a very special milestone—our amazing 4th grade students walking across the stage at their graduation ceremony! 🐾

Days like this bring mixed emotions for our staff. Over the years, we’ve had the joy of watching these students grow—not only physically, but academically and emotionally. We’ve shared countless memories, milestones, and moments of learning, and it’s hard to imagine our halls without them.
At the same time, our hearts are full of pride. It has been our privilege and responsibility to prepare them for the next step, and today they showed us they are ready. They are leaving the Primary Center equipped with confidence, knowledge, and character, ready to take on middle school!

Thank you to our families for trusting us with your children. It has truly been an honor to be a part of their journey. Our tiger cubs are now ready to become white tigers—and we cannot wait to hear their future ROARS! 🐯

Congratulations, graduates! We are so proud of you!

Attendance Tiger Update

Well hello there, friends! It’s me—the one and only Attendance Tiger—and I’ve got some paws-itively exciting news to share!

Yesterday, I strutted my stripes right into Mrs. Shears’ class, and WOW… what an adventure it’s been already! This crew is full of energy—I can barely keep up with all the fun, laughter, and learning. I may be quick, but this class is QUICKER when it comes to showing up and being ready to go!

I have to admit… I’m feeling a little sentimental. This is my last time visiting this amazing group before they head off to Wirt County Middle School next year. I’m going to miss hanging out with these lively learners—they’ve made my stay unforgettable!

Keep roaring, Mrs. Shears’ class, and remember—I’ll always be cheering you on (from afar… probably chasing perfect attendance somewhere else)! 🧡

Pie a Teacher Assembly Fun!

This morning, our school community gathered for a fun-filled assembly to select student winners for our Pie a Teacher event—and what a blast it was!

Winners were chosen using a spinning wheel, and the excitement in the gym was contagious as students waited to see whose name would be called. Once selected, each winner had the chance to pie a teacher or aide in the face!

After all winners were announced, the grand finale began...Each of the winners pied their volunteer recipient at the same time! Faces and hair were covered in whipped cream and laughter filled the room. We even had one teacher slip on the floor (don’t worry—she's okay!). It was messy, hilarious, and enjoyed by all.

We’ve loved celebrating our students this year through rewards like LiveSchool points, drawing contests, and iReady progress—and this event was the perfect way to build the momentum to the final reward of the year, the FOAM PARTY on the last day of the school year!

Saying Goodbye Ms. Trippett’s class shared some big hugs and heartfelt goodbyes on Monday as they celebrated their senior intern, Carly Phillips. Throughout her time at Wirt County Primary Center, Carly became such a special part of the classroom family. From helping students learn and grow to sharing smiles, encouragement, and kindness each day she was in the classroom. She made a lasting impact on everyone around her at the Primary Center. The students absolutely loved having her in the classroom and will truly miss her presence for the remainder of the school year. Thank you, Carly, for all the care, patience, and positivity you brought to our school. We wish you the very best in all your future endeavors!

THANK YOU!

We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of the individuals and businesses who contributed to making Teacher Appreciation Week at Wirt County Primary Center so special!

As our students might say… “This was the BEST week EVER!”

We truly enjoyed the delicious Olive Garden, refreshing Peasy Lemonade, Ridge Roast Coffee, subs, Chick-fil-A, and the beautiful plants & flowers. We are also incredibly grateful for the thoughtful pictures students drew and colored, the candy, and every single gift we were fortunate to receive from students and parents this week.

As teachers and staff, we are used to being the givers, but this week, we felt so generously gifted in return. Your kindness and support mean more to us than words can express.

Thank you all. We couldn’t ask for a better community to work in!
