Snow Day Flashback - Wilson students kicked off their enrichment lessons with Mrs. Chao in a creative way. During this activity, students practiced divergent thinking by challenging themselves to come up with as many imaginative ideas as possible for a variety of everyday items. We can’t wait to see where their ideas take them next!

Snow Day Flashback - One of our classes celebrated the 100th Day of School in a truly special way, with a very special visitor! A student’s great-great grandfather joined the class to share his experiences and advice after living through nearly a century of history. As students have been learning about life long ago in social studies, hearing his firsthand stories brought their learning to life. What a meaningful reminder that learning connects generations and that every day in school helps our students grow wiser and stronger. 💛
