Southern Middle School Students Finalist in Philly Zoo UNLESS project
A group of sixth grade gifted students from Southern Middle School, who call themselves the Batty Bulldogs, have been selected as finalists in the Philadelphia Zoo's UNLESS project!
The goal of the UNLESS competition is to help reduce electricity and water consumption. In order to promote electricity savings, the Batty Bulldogs opted to run a light bulb conversion campaign titled "Get One, Give One." The campaign asked families to buy two LED light bulbs. One to install in their home and one to donate. Let's congratulate these students and wish them luck at the final ceremony on May 10th!

Sponsor-A-Scholar Program
The Wilson Academic Boosters/PTO offers a program to honor graduating seniors who are members of the National Honor Society. At graduation, these seniors wear satin sashes over their graduation gowns noting their NHS membership. In years past, the sashes were "on loan" to the students during the graduation ceremony and had to be promptly removed and returned at the conclusion of the graduation ceremony, often before photos could be taken. The Wilson Academic Boosters/PTO created the Sponsor-A-Scholar program to allow our honored graduates to keep their sashes as a remembrance of their outstanding achievements.
