Attendance Tiger Takeover!

Hi friends! It’s me—the Attendance Tiger—and I’m SO excited to finally be spending the week in Mrs. Beck’s class! 🧡 I’ve been looking forward to hanging out here after last week’s pawsome attendance, and I can already tell this is going to be a GRRREAT week!

Even though we’re in the last month of school, there are still lots of fun field trips and exciting activities ahead. I want to see all my friends every single day (unless you’re feeling ill, of course!) so you don’t miss any of the fun we have planned.

Keep up the amazing attendance, Mrs. Beck’s class—this tiger loves being with you! 🐾

What a wonderful day to adventure! Our 2nd grade students had an unforgettable field trip to Blennerhassett Island today! The excitement started right away with a scenic boat ride across the Ohio River, where students enjoyed the fresh air, spotted wildlife, and took in the stunning views. Once on the island, students stepped back in time as they explored the historic Blennerhassett Mansion and learned about life in the 1800s. In the museum, students had the chance to dive even deeper into history, learning about the Blennerhassett family and their role in early American events. From smiling faces on the boat to curious minds in the museum, it’s clear our students had an amazing hands-on learning experience. Field trips like this bring history to life in a way that classrooms simply can’t! Thank you to our teachers, staff, and chaperones for making this special day possible—and to our families and community for your continued support. We really appreciate your participation in our fundraisers, so we can continue to make memories such as these for our students every year!

Roar-some News from the Attendance Tiger!

Hello, Primary Center friends!

It’s me, the Attendance Tiger, and I’m purr‑oud to announce that I’m spending this week in Mrs. Shears’ class!

Why, you ask? Because these amazing students showed excellent attendance last week, and that deserves a BIG round of tiger applause! 🐾

This week, I’ll be my very best self—supportive, calm, and extra quiet—while our students work hard during testing. I’m hoping my presence helps ease any test jitters and reminds them just how capable and confident they are.

I am so proud of Mrs. Shears’ class and their commitment to coming to school every day. Hopefully I will be able to curl up in their classroom again before school ends.

Keep up the fantastic attendance, Primary Center! 🐯
