Support the Wilson Education Foundation This Holiday Season! |
|
Every school year, community donors make a positive impact on the 6,300 students and over 1100 staff members in the Wilson School District by contributing to the Wilson Education Foundation (WEF). The non-tax dollars raised by WEF, a 501(c)(3) organization, help us with our mission to support the Wilson School District (WSD) in the areas of Student Experience,
Teaching Excellence, and Community Engagement.
Funds raised by the WEF support the I-STEM program, scholarships for graduating seniors, the Wilson Summer Learning Camp, Venture Grants to support teachers’ creative and innovative projects, district-wide events, and Capital Campaigns.
We also support students and families in need and programs
promoting mental health awareness. The Foundation organizes other annual community and fundraising events throughout the year including the Bulldog Bash
& Auction and we will be bringing back the Iron Chef Event in March 2023!
Together, we can continue to positively impact students' lives in our district, giving them unique opportunities and experiences. Please consider making an end-of-the-year gift to WEF, every dollar makes a difference! Thank you in advance for your support. Visit wilsonsd.org/EdFoundation for more information.

Check Out the Video from the "Most Valuable Bulldog" Presentations! |
|
A few weeks ago, our senior athletes selected one of their teachers to honor as part of the first-ever "Most Valuable Bulldog-- MVB" project. We captured the presentations on video and are excited to share them with our community! You can check out the video here.
The MVB program is sponsored by 2001 Alum, Nick Lambros. Nick is the owner of Pennsylvania Anesthesia Coalition. PAC is a private healthcare company focused on comprehensive practice management in Anesthesia Service. Nick is proud to sponsor this program as he would not be where he is today without the support and mentorship from many of his teachers from Wilson who made a major impact on him in the classroom and more importantly, in life.
Congrats to ALL our MVBs!
