Educators Honored at the
Wilson Education Foundation Bulldog Bash
|
Members of the Wilson Community recently celebrated the achievements of three Wilson educators at the Wilson Education Foundation’s Bulldog Bash event, held at First Energy Stadium.
Dr. Stacey Stoudt was presented with the annual Wilson Legacy Award. This year marks the start of Stacey’s 34th year at Wilson School District. During her time at Wilson, Stacey has held numerous positions. Early in her career, she served as a 2nd grade teacher at Cornwall Terrace Elementary school. After over 19 years in the classroom, Stacey became the first Teacher Instructional Coach at Wilson and after that experience, she began her tenure as a principal. She spent time in that role at both Whitfield and Green Valley elementary schools. All that experience prepared her for her current role as the Assistant Superintendent for Elementary at Wilson. Dr. Stoudt’s family was on hand to celebrate this achievement with her!
In addition, Mr. Dave Cooper and Ms. Kara Stalter were honored as the 2021 Extraordinary Teachers of the Year. This program was brought to the Wilson School District in 2016 by Sun Federal Credit Union. To receive this award, students, parents, fellow faculty and staff, and community members, nominate Wilson teachers for this honor. Mr. Cooper serves as the Wilson High School Band Director and as a music educator. Ms. Stalter currently serves as a reading specialist at Shiloh Hills Elementary School. Both Teacher of the Year recipients received a $1,000 award from Sun Federal Credit Union and the Wilson Education Foundation.
Congratulations to all our award recipients, and thank you to the Wilson Education Foundation for your ongoing support of our students and staff!

New Transportation App for District Families |
|
We want to remind you that our Transportation Department is introducing a new parent app called Stopfinder, that provides real-time information and updates regarding your student’s bus information. Stopfinder will replace InfoFinder as the primary source for the MOST UP-TO-DATE information about your child’s bus schedule.
Stopfinder will require an invitation and registration through the District prior to accessing your child’s transportation schedule. Please watch for your Stopfinder invitation via email on Monday, October 18, 2021.
Please contact the Wilson School District Transportation Department with any questions. We are looking forward to bringing this new tool to our families!
