In collaboration with Fayette Prevention Coalition, Divide Elementary held a Family Game Night where families played games based on protective factors such as healthy risk taking, building strong foundations, resilience, self-control, setting boundaries, and self-efficacy. Families were able to take pizzas and games to play at home. A big thank you to everyone who came out!
Ms. Gandee’s 1st grade class shopped New River Primary’s first PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions Support) store! Students were able to shop if they had 75% or higher positive DOJO points, 5 or less unexcused absences, and 3 or less tardies.
The same students were also able to participate in a school dance during the day, which all of the students (and staff) seemed to enjoy! The store and the dance were both a fun and unique way to encourage good behavior and to reward students for following New River Primary’s school-wide expectations; “Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful.” It was also important to showcase how much we value them being at school and being at school on time by rewarding excellent attendance.
“I’m happy it’s raining, it means my vegetables are growing!” – A 2nd grader at NRP said excitedly! Mrs. Vandall’s 2nd grade class at New River Primary participated in a gardening lesson led by Nicole Mitchell through West Virginia Extension Services. Time in the garden allows for team building and promotes communication skills. According to PBS Kids (2023), planning a garden, planting the seeds and watching them grow give kids a sense of purpose and responsibility. Making sure that the plants get enough fertilizer, water and sun fosters mindfulness. This is a wonderful activity for early education and development.
Alex Richardson, who wrote, Home to You visited New River Primary. Mrs. Priestley’s 2nd grade class is posed with West Virginia author, Alex Richardson. Throughout the week, teachers were encouraged to discuss West Virginia with their students and what their favorite thing about West Virginia is, specifically their favorite place, such as their backyard, New River Gorge Bridge, a tree they like to climb, or their favorite fishing or camping location. The students were then encouraged to write or discuss how those places makes them feel. The purpose of this activity was for students to celebrate being from West Virginia and all it has to offer, while also celebrating a local author!

Mrs. Alderman’s 2nd grade class at New River Primary created their own bowl of Lucky Charms for a Social-Emotional Learning lesson on St. Patrick’s Day! Students were able to share things or people they are lucky to have, a time or times when they feel lucky, and what makes them feel EXTRA lucky! Then they were able to color and cut out different lucky charms to fill up their own bowl of Lucky Charms cereal. This class deserves a special shout-out for being super kind and respectful during their entire lesson… great job Mrs. Alderman’s class!
