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.

Strategic Plan/Profile of a Graduate Update |
|
It is hard to believe that we are over one-third of the way through the 2022-2023 school year! Time is moving forward quickly; before we know it, 2023 will be here.
Our District’s focus this year is to ensure that we are always moving one step closer to fulfilling our vision to create a place where “students love to learn, staff love to work, and people love to live.” To achieve this goal, we introduced a strategic plan that outlines focus areas and tangible goals that will move us forward as we progress through this school year and beyond. You can learn more about this plan by watching this video here.
One of our key strategic focus areas of the plan is the development of the Profile of a Wilson Graduate. Now more than ever, the educational experience must not only provide for the acquisition of academic content but must also be intentional about fostering the skills and mindsets our students need to thrive in this complex, rapidly changing, and connected world.
The Wilson School District developed a “Profile of a Wilson Graduate” after gathering input through surveys, focus groups, and meetings with all stakeholder groups. The board approved this Profile at our December 5 meeting. You can explore the Profile on our website, where you will find an interactive way to understand the characteristics that we believe are essential for our students to obtain during their time at Wilson. The “Path for Readiness” provides indicators to help our students navigate their journey and to create a school where “students love to learn.”
We are encouraged about the direction our school district is headed and can’t thank our staff, students and community enough for their continued support. It is truly special to be a “Wilson Bulldog!”
