🐾 Wildcat Campaign Trail in Action! 🐾

🩺 A Message from Nurse Whitney
National Poison Prevention Week is March 15–21, 2026.
This year, the West Virginia Poison Center is highlighting the theme “Little Hands, Big Curiosities.” Children are naturally curious, and everyday items such as medications, cleaning products, cosmetics, and even plants can pose a poisoning risk.
Many poisonings are preventable. Families and school staff can play an important role by helping children learn safe habits and understand which items are not safe to touch or consume.
We encourage families to take a moment to review poison prevention tips and helpful resources provided by the West Virginia Poison Center.
Together, we can help keep our students safe! 💙 #GoGilmer #LoveMyWVSchool

To celebrate their hard work, students in Mrs. Moyer’s and Mrs. Loudin's kindergarten classrooms enjoyed a movie and popcorn bar. 🍿
Great job, little learners—keep up the great work! 📚
