4th Grade Fun at the Columbus Zoo!

Our 4th grade students had an amazing day at the Columbus Zoo today! From hands-on experiences to unforgettable moments, it was a trip full of excitement and learning.

Students got the chance to hold birds, feed giraffes, and even get up close with sting rays—not to mention enjoying a fun ride on the carousel! 🦒🎠

Beyond the fun, our students explored and learned about a wide variety of animals and their habitats, making real-world connections to what they’ve been studying in the classroom. 📚

Most importantly, they shared laughter, curiosity, and memorable moments with their classmates. We hope they’ll carry these memories with them as they take their next big step to Wirt County Middle School next school year.

We are so proud of our 4th graders and the wonderful way they represented our school today! 🐾

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!
