Give a big ROAR for Ms. Lowe’s class, who earned the Attendance Tiger this week for their GRRRREAT attendance last week! These Tigers showed up, worked hard, and set an awesome example for our school! 🏆
Regular attendance is so important for a child’s learning. Every day in class helps them grow, stay on track, and build confidence. 📚
That said, we also want to remind everyone that sick kiddos should stay home to rest and recover. 🤒
Keeping our students healthy helps protect everyone and ensures they are ready to learn when they return! 🧡🖤
Way to go, Ms. Lowe’s class! Keep showing that Tiger Pride! 🐅👏

🐟A Fishy Tale from Mrs. Ellison’s 4th Grade Class! 🐟
Once upon a time in Mrs. Ellison’s classroom, there lived a friendly little fish named Doodle. He was small, he was colorful, and he watched over the Tigers as they learned each day. But sadly, Doodle swam on to fishy heaven, leaving an empty spot in the classroom and in the students’ hearts. 🌈💧💕
But don’t worry! This story has a happy ending!
A few kind-hearted students decided their class needed a new finned friend, so they teamed up , pooled their ideas, and surprised the class with a brand new fish named George (plus some beautiful greenery to make his bowl feel like home). 🌿🐟
Moments like these show the true spirit of our Tigers: kindness, community, and caring for one another (and their pets!) 🖤🧡
Welcome to the Primary Center family, George! 🐯🐠


There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, January 19 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Enjoy the long weekend, and we’ll see our Tigers back on Tuesday! 🐅🖤🧡


Today, we’re celebrating someone who has been a cornerstone of our school community for many years—Tina Becker! Her dedication and love for our students make her truly special.
Let’s learn more about her amazing journey and what makes her shine!

Last Friday was Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, and thanks to the initiative of our amazing school secretary, Ashley Romine, Wirt County Primary Center staff and students took time to acknowledge one of our own Tiger parents, Roman Rader, for his service in law enforcement. 👏🐅
We are so appreciative of everything our law enforcement officers do to keep our community and school safe. Your dedication and hard work do not go unnoticed, and we THANK YOU for all that you do! 🖤🧡

Please join us in giving a big Tiger ROAR to Dee Hardbarger, our December Teacher of the Month at Wirt County Primary Center! 👏
Dee is one of the biggest advocates for our students. She is always looking out for their needs and making sure they have what they need to succeed. She’s also the ring leader when it comes to collecting donations for gifts for staff and administrators, spreading kindness and community spirit throughout our school. 🖤🧡
We are proud and thrilled to have Dee (and her legendary T-shirt collection!) as part of our Tiger family. Thank you, Dee, for everything you do to make Wirt County Primary Center an amazing place to learn and grow! 🐅

Please join us in celebrating Amber Long, our December Service Personnel of the Month at Wirt County Primary Center! 🖤🧡
Amber has her hands full keeping our building clean, especially when she has to battle Santa’s mischievous elves in December! 🎅
But that’s not all! Amber also brought the holiday spirit by coordinating fun reindeer games with prizes for teachers and staff during the week before break. ✨
Wirt County Primary Center is lucky to have someone as fun-loving, hardworking, and supportive as Amber on our team. Thank you for everything you do for our staff and students! 🐅👏

Our Wirt County Primary Center and Middle School clothing closets need your help!
We never know when students are going to spill a meal on their clothing or have a mishap in the gym or on the playground that rips their clothing, so we are asking for some assistance from our generous community to helps us take care of our students' needs and keep them dry, comfortable, and ready to learn at school.
Taylor Smith, our amazing Communities in Schools resource person, is coordinating an effort to make sure every student has what they need. How she plans to accomplish this task...
Amazon Wish List for Sweatpants: Taylor has created an Amazon Wish List of sweatpants in all sizes for boys and girls which is perfect because sweats are warm and flexible enough to fit every child! 👉 https://a.co/gt4bIvK0
January Shoe Drive: She is also collecting new or gently used shoes for boys and girls. Drop them off at the Primary Center or Middle School offices anytime this month! 👟
We always appreciate the kindness and generosity of our local community. Thank you for showing what the Tiger Community is all about! 🐅
Let’s ROAR together and make a difference! 🖤🧡
