We want to publicly thank the entire Wilson Community for their support this past school year. The culmination of the year ended with events and activities across our district, all designed to celebrate the accomplishments of our amazing students. We had moving up ceremonies, concerts, academic and athletic award ceremonies, plays and musicals and countless athletic events. So many community members came out to support our students and we could not be more grateful!
We also had a wonderful celebration of the Class of 2022. We cannot begin to express just how amazing it is to be part of the Wilson community. From our parent volunteers who organized our Cap and Gown event to the community that donated thousands of dollars to allow us to create an incredibly memorable graduation event- -complete with a parade, ceremony in Gurski stadium and a fireworks display-- we want to thank each and every one who had a part in making these seniors feel so special.

We would also like to thank GT Church, Spring Township Police and Sinking Spring Police for their help with the organization of the Class of 2022 Grad Parade.
And, thank you to 5 Star Productions for producing the soundtrack for our fireworks display.

Helpful Tips from The Cook Center for Family Connection |
|
One of the many benefits of summer is the positive effect that it has on many people's mental health. The sun gives us more vitamin D, which raises energy levels and just simply makes us feel happier. However, kids are home more and may have a hard time adjusting to their newfound freedoms. Summer is a great time to revisit family rules around electronic devices in the home, ensure you have filters put into place to protect your child, and set clear boundaries.
