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!

Calling All Tiger Families!

Our next Wirt County Primary Center PTO Meeting is coming up on Thursday, October 8 at 3:30 PM, and we would love to see you there!

Want to help make some of our students' favorite activities possible? PTO volunteers play a huge role in making events like Trunk or Treat, the Country Store, and the Spring Carnival a success. They also help raise funds that support exciting opportunities for our students, including foam parties, field trips, and other memorable school experiences!

As we look ahead to the holiday season, we'll need plenty of helping hands for our annual gift wrapping activities in December. You will need to be an approved volunteer to help wrap presents from the Country Store. Whether you can volunteer a little or a lot, every bit of help makes a difference.

It's never too late to get involved! Volunteering is a great way to support our school, connect with other families, and yes...you might even have some fun along the way! 😊

You do not have to be an approved volunteer to attend a PTO meeting, but if you are interested in doing more, then you can learn about becoming an approved volunteer here: https://www.wirtcountyschools.com/page/volunteer-info/
