 Middle School Student Named Berks Nature's Youngest Ambassador!
Ian Metzgar, a 13-year-old seventh grader from Wilson West Middle School, completed a 25-hour volunteer training course to become Berks Nature's youngest Berks Nature Ambassador.

 Wilson Students Part of Upcoming Sesame Street Short Film!
Students in Anthony Dusko's class at Shiloh Hills got to experience what the world of film making is all about! Mr. Dusko has been making short animated films for Sesame Street for the past 8 years. Recently, he was able to involve his students in the entire film making process, which included brainstorming ideas, writing scripts and ultimately pitching ideas to Sesame Street producers. Some of our own students provided the voice talent for the film! And, the recording session was done in the music room at Shiloh Hills! Congratulations to Mr. Dusko and his students for using their collective talents to show there is real world use for being a creative thinker!
