We’re so excited to celebrate Cole Bumgarner, who just zoomed away with a brand new scooter after winning our Scooter Raffle! 🛴
Cole earned this awesome prize by showing great behavior and collecting points in LiveSchool. He chose to spend some of those points on a raffle ticket, and it paid off! 🧡🖤
At the Primary Center, we love rewarding students who make positive choices. Through LiveSchool, students can use their points to shop for prizes, enter raffles, or enjoy special activities with staff.
🚨 And the fun’s not over! We still have TWO more scooters waiting for lucky winners! Encourage your children to keep earning those points and making great choices. They could be the next student to earn a great prize!

Our next Local School Improvement Council (LSIC) meeting will be held next Tuesday after school. All members of our school community are welcome and encouraged to attend!
What is the LSIC?
The LSIC plays a vital role in shaping the success of our school. According to the West Virginia Department of Education:
“Local School Improvement Councils (LSIC) are required per W.Va. Code § 18-5A-2. These councils exist at each public school in West Virginia. Membership includes teachers, service personnel, bus drivers, parents, and business/community representatives. LSICs are directly involved in the operation of the school in many ways.”
What does the LSIC do?
Reviews discipline data and procedures annually
Submits recommendations to the local school board
Encourages community involvement in school operations
Supports strategic planning and school improvement initiatives
Engages in dialogue with the school board about academic performance
Offers suggestions to improve areas such as:
Parent and community involvement
Student engagement and attendance
Learning environment and behavior supports
Curricular offerings and school resources
This is a great opportunity for everyone to learn more, share ideas, and help make a difference in our school!

📅 Why We’re Fundraising:
Proceeds will help fund classroom activities and our end-of-year field trip — creating lasting memories for our 3rd graders!
📝 How It Works:
3rd grade students will use a ticket log to record sales (tickets will NOT be sent home to sell).
Buyers’ names, phone numbers, ticket quantity, and payment method will be logged.
Students will return the log and money to school daily to ensure tickets are available. Their teacher will collect money and fill out the purchased tickets and send the ticket stubs back home.
🎯 Our Goal:
Each student is encouraged to sell at least 15 tickets — but more is always welcome!
🙌 Thank you for supporting our students and helping make this school year unforgettable! For questions, please contact a 3rd grade teacher.
Let’s make this fundraiser a HUGE success, Wirt County! 💪🎟️
