REMINDER: High School Scheduling Night to Be Held TONIGHT!
|
|
The High School scheduling night is for current 8th – 11th-grade parents/ guardians and will be held in the High School auditorium. This evening is designed for parents only, as we have a separate process where we work to educate and advise the students.
We will have a staggered start with the rising 10th – 12th grade (current 9th – 11th grade) parent presentation beginning at 6:30 PM and the rising 9th grade (current 8th grade) parent presentation beginning at 7:00 PM. After each formal presentation, teachers, counselors, and other staff members, will be available to answer specific questions and to provide guidance and support, as needed, as you work with your student to map out next year’s educational path.

JUULing: What Parents Need to Know Informational Event
Join us for a parenting program as Council on Chemical Abuse Prevention Specialist, Teresa Detweiler, discusses vaping and JUULing: What Parents Need to Know. This informational event will be held
March 7, 2019, from 6:30- 8 pm, in the Wilson West Auditorium.
Teen vaping and JUULing has reached “epidemic proportions,” according to The Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While there are many types of e-cigarettes, the most popular and, therefore, the most dangerous among them is the JUUL, which has swept through middle schools and high schools, creating a new generation of smokers. Because the JUUL is less recognizable than other e-cigarette devices, parents might not even realize their child is vaping. Attendees will learn about the health risks of JUUL and how they perpetuate nicotine addiction. Come hear about this new trend and learn about the impact these electronic cigarette devices can have on our youth.

Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week Business Camp-- Great Opportunity for High School Students!
|
|
Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week is a one-week business camp for current Pennsylvania high school sophomores and juniors. It is held at Lycoming College and is offered four times in the summer.
While it is a business camp, it is so much more! It focuses on leadership, communication, networking, and self-actualization. The business aspect of the camp is a level of business that all students can benefit from regardless of their future career plans.
To run the camp it costs $1,000 per student, however, due to sponsorships, the cost comes down to $295 per student. And...for Wilson students, it is only $150. This includes the full week of room and board!
Students do need to apply and be accepted to the program. Deadlines to apply are March 1 for early bird, and May 1.
