What a wonderful finale to Reading Week at Wirt County Primary Center!

Today we wrapped up our celebration with Hat Day in honor of the Cat in the Hat—and our students showed up in style! From fun, floppy hats to tall, striped Seuss-inspired creations, our hallways were full of personality and creativity.

A huge thank you to all the families who helped their children participate throughout the week. Your support made each themed day even more exciting, and you helped make this Reading Week the most fun we’ve ever had! 📖

We loved celebrating the joy of reading with you! 🖤

OUR SPRING CARNIVAL NEEDS YOU!

The Spring Carnival is one of our biggest fundraisers at Wirt County Primary Center, and this year it’s more important than ever!

This school year has been exceptionally tough on the PTO budget primarily due to the significant amount donated toward the new bleachers for the gym. After we set aside $6,000 for field trips, our current balance is about half of what we started the year with. Based on this year’s budget, that will only cover field trips, the Country Store, and the Spring Carnival—leaving no room for PBIS rewards students and other supports our PTO normally provides. To keep these supports in place, we must have a profitable Spring Carnival—and that only happens with volunteers and donations.

We’re confident everyone has something to offer:

⏰ Volunteer your time on carnival night (help run a game or booth)
🥤 Donate food/drinks or make a monetary donation
🎟️ Secure a raffle item (we’re moving away from traditional baskets and toward raffle slots)

If you can help in any way, please contact Jamie Vannoy at JVannoy@k12.wv.us.
Know a middle or high school student willing to help run a game? Please let Jamie know—we’ll provide Chick‑fil‑A dinner that night as a thank‑you!

Thank you for being an amazing Tiger community. Together, we can make this carnival a success and keep great opportunities going for our students. 🧡
