This evening, at the annual Back-to-School Bash, Wise Primary School unveiled a time capsule buried in 2000 by students, teachers, and staff members. This time capsule was sponsored by Food City when the Pow Wow Playground was built in 2000. Administration at Wise Primary School recently recovered the time capsule that was intact in a large sealed pipe. While Wise Primary School has built a new playground, the administration felt it was essential to honor the Time Capsule of 2000, opening it and displaying its contents at tonight's "Back-to-School Bash." This upcoming school year, the "Family Literacy Night" will showcase the contents of the capsule!

Wise County Public Schools would like to thank our transportation team, who is responsible for transporting our students safely to and from school, including after-school activities. Our transportation team met this morning to engage in professional development and to prepare for transportation plans for this upcoming school year. These dedicated individuals meet the increasing transportation needs of our community and deserve such recognition. Thank you to each of our bus drivers, mechanics, transportation secretaries, and transportation supervisor!
