Our new gym got a concession stand face lift that I'm sure you all have noticed. What we are still in need of is new equipment and miscellaneous items. We put together a list on Donor's Choose. Donor's Choose helps teachers get classroom supply projects filled with community and a network of anonymous donor's that love to help schools. If you can help out, we would be so grateful. Even sharing the project would be helpful! https://www.donorschoose.org/project/feeding-success/8793827/?utm_source=dc&utm_medium=directlink&utm_campaign=teacherhub&utm_term=teacher_9107054&rf=directlink-dc-2024-09-teacherhub-teacher_9107054&challengeid=22156467

The 2024 Homecoming football game was a parade of true Texas tradition. We had mums, Kings and Queens, and Football! The game was hard fought but did not turn out in our favor. The Mustang spirit is alive and well regardless.

Thank you to all who helped make the parade, pep rally, and bonfire an amazing time to celebrate the start of a new school year through Homecoming. The community's involvement really made us so proud to be a part of Wilson!

3rd grade did their own recreation of Vincent VanGogh's "Starry Night" in Mrs. Huse's art class. Your art donations continue to enrich our students!
