3rd Grade Learns about West Virginia while in Charleston!
Our 3rd grade students had an unforgettable day exploring West Virginia history and government on their field trip to the WV State Capitol and the WV State Museum!
Students enjoyed touring the beautiful Capitol Building, learning about how our state government works, and discovering fascinating stories from West Virginia's past at the museum. From towering exhibits to historic artifacts, there was something exciting to learn around every corner.
One of the highlights of the day was gathering on the Capitol steps for a class photo in front of the iconic gold dome. Learning came to life as our students connected classroom lessons with real-world experiences right here in the Mountain State!
We are proud of our 3rd graders for representing our school so well and for making the most of this incredible learning opportunity.

3RD GRADE PAINTING PUMPKINS & LEARNING
Our talented 3rd grade students combined research, creativity, and a little fall fun in this amazing pumpkin project!
After researching an animal of their choice, students transformed pumpkins into their chosen creatures using paint, fabric, fur, foam, googly eyes, and many other creative materials. From furry mammals to colorful wildlife, each project showcases the students' learning, imagination, and hard work.
If you're attending a 3rd or 4th grade Fall Party next week, be sure to take a look at these incredible creations on display in the 3rd and 4th grade hallway! We are so proud of the effort and creativity our students put into bringing their animal research projects to life.
Great job, Tigers!

A Roaring Message from Attendance Tiger!
Guess what, Wirt County Primary Center? I have a brand-new home this week!
A huge congratulations to Mrs. Bell's class for earning the honor of hosting the Attendance Tiger thanks to their outstanding attendance last week!
This is an extra special occasion because it is the first time this school year that Mrs. Bell's class has earned the Attendance Tiger, and it is also Mrs. Bell's very first time ever having the Attendance Tiger visit her classroom! Needless to say, everyone is excited about this pawsome achievement!
Thank you to all of the students and families who helped make this possible by making school attendance a priority when students are healthy and ready to learn. Every day in the classroom is an opportunity to grow, learn, and make wonderful memories with friends and teachers.
Attendance Tiger Reminder: Regular attendance is important, but so is staying healthy! If a student is sick, please keep them home to rest and recover and to help prevent the spread of illness to others. We love seeing our Tigers at school when they are healthy and ready to learn!
Let's give Mrs. Bell's class a big round of applause for this exciting milestone! 👏
Keep up the great work! 🐯

Our gym was filled with kindness and school spirit today as we celebrated our very first Kindness Assembly of the year! This special event is one of four assemblies we will hold throughout the year, taking place every nine weeks to recognize and celebrate the kindness being shared throughout our school.
During the assembly, one student from each classroom was recognized with a Kindness Award for demonstrating respect, compassion, and positive character. Congratulations to Carson Lowe, Dani Morgan, Gabriel Rader, Raelynn Pauley, Alexandria Shears, Analeigh Kerby, Jackson Knicely, McKenzie Miller, Summer Brogdon, Chloe Hite, Dellah Watson, Haven Beatty, and Castiel Nay for being selected by their teachers as kindness leaders in our school!
A special congratulations goes to Holden Hardbarger, who earned the most hearts on our Kindness Wall and received a one-of-a-kind tiger created by our talented school secretary, Ashley Romine. Mrs. Ellison's class won the award for the Kindest Class. What a wonderful way to recognize the impact that kindness can have on others!
In addition to celebrating our award recipients, students learned how to do "The Wave" and had a great time showing their school spirit together. Be sure to ask your child about it at home!
We are incredibly proud of the kindness, respect, and positive attitudes we are seeing in our classrooms and throughout our building this year. Thank you to our students, staff, and families for helping create a school community where kindness matters. Let's keep the kindness spirit going all year long!
