#gowilsonrangers from Yolanda
Great things are happening! Let's "continue the conversation"...
3rd, 4th, and 5th grade educators at Wilson have already started the buzz...
When you tweet @gowilsonrangers , please remember to also #gowilsonrangers in the same post so that we can "house" all of the great happenings under one big conversation. (hashtags # help audiences follow actual conversations, events, etc.; whereas the @ is for "mentioning" or sending directly to a fellow "tweeter")
Visit #gowilsonrangers to see what all the talk is about!

Dinner and Donalyn
On the evening of April 12th (from 5PM -8PM), we have an incredible opportunity to host Donalyn Miller here in Coppell. Donalyn, also known as the Book Whisperer, possesses a wealth of knowledge and expertise about cultivating life-long readers. Educators are invited to grab dinner and join Donalyn as we talk about books, reading communities and nurturing lifelong readers.
- With principal approval, this event is an opportunity for FLEX credit.
- Because of limited pace, campuses will be allocated a certain number of spots.
Our campus has 8 spots. If you would like to attend please email Chris and Mary that you want to attend and why.
