A Goodbye Note From Ms. Richards:
This photo was taken on August 9, 2022, just a few days after I began my journey as Assistant Principal at Wirt County Primary Center.
As I prepare for my last day tomorrow, I find myself reflecting on the people who have made these past five years so meaningful.
To our families, thank you for your trust, support, encouragement, and partnership. Thank you for sharing your children with us and allowing me to be part of their lives. The faith you placed in me never went unnoticed, and I am deeply grateful for it.
To our students, thank you for the smiles in the hallways, the conversations, the laughter, and the memories. It has been a privilege to watch you learn, grow, overcome challenges, and celebrate successes.
And to the incredible staff of Wirt County Primary Center, thank you for being the absolute best. Your dedication to students and your love for this community are what make this school so special. It has been an honor to serve alongside you.
Wirt County has given me far more than I could ever give in return. This community has impacted my life in ways I will carry with me forever, and I will always be grateful for the relationships and memories we've shared.
While tomorrow is my last day in this role, Wirt County will always hold a special place in my heart, and I look forward to seeing many of you again as I begin a new chapter of my professional career.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. 🧡🖤
Ms. Richards
