Green Valley is "All About Books!"
|
Green Valley is "All About Books!" Each year, during the annual Book Fair, our Green Valley students collect coins for the Scholastic "All for Books" program.
This year, Green Valley decided to give all the proceeds from their collection to the 12th and Marion Elementary School Library in the Reading School District. The campaign was under the direction of the Book Fair Student Crew, comprised of 5th-grade students, who helped to promote the campaign. Their efforts paid off! After just one week of collecting coins, the school raised $2,872.64!
Mrs. Brown, the librarian for 12th and Marion, was able to visit the Green Valley Book Fair and shop for books for her library using the funds that were raised. The Book Fair Student Crew even got to personally deliver the books to the students at 12th and Marion and participate in a "buddy reading" activity with their kindergarten students.
Thanks to all the students, staff, and community volunteers who made this incredible project possible! Readers helping Readers!

Future Entrepreneurs at Wilson
|
We have some future entrepreneurs at Wilson! Working in groups of 4-5, our freshman ISTEM students recently pitched their ideas for their projects to a panel of professionals working in the STEM field.
The presentations modeled the show "Shark Tank," where students shared their project concepts and received feedback and suggestions from our panel of experts. We can't wait until Spring to see their projects come to completion!

We were thrilled to support the country-wide initiative to support Anthony Myers, a 16-year-old student at Berks Catholic. On Sunday, October 21, Anthony’s life changed drastically. He woke up early that morning and started seizing. A biopsy was later performed at the Reading Hospital, and the Myers family received devastating news. Anthony was diagnosed with brain cancer: Stage 3 Anaplastic Astrocytoma.
Wilson families purchased over 600 shirts and wore them proudly on December 17 in support of Anthony. Great job Bulldogs!

Wilson Southern and Wilson West Learn New Dance Moves!
|
|
Our 8th-grade Spanish students at Wilson Southern and Wilson West had the chance to learn some new dance moves!
We were excited to welcome Barrio Alegria, a local salsa dance group, to our schools to teach our students a one-minute salsa routine to a Spanish song.
It was amazing to see the students embrace that feeling of being uncomfortable and try something new! What a fun experience for our students!
