WILSON MIDDLE SCHOOL
JUNE NEWSLETTER 2022
Dear Parents and Students,
Another school year is behind us. Seems like it was just last week we welcomed you to our open house early August. We will be saying our goodbyes and best wishes to our 8th grade students as they venture out to high schools. This was a very busy year filled with many rewarding experiences. Returning fulltime to in-person after 2 years of COVID closures was memorable and challenging at the same time, we could not have done it alone.
Thank you parents for partnering with us to help provide the best educational services to students this year. Your dedication to their daily attendance and your support during the year paid off and the great majority of students are transitioning fully prepared to overcome next years’ educational challenges. We, the staff at Wilson, greatly appreciate you and your students!
Another great school year is behind us! Have a great summer!
Respectfully,
Ernesto Araiza
Principal

WILSON MIDDLE SCHOOL FUNDRAISER
COLOR RUN, JUNE 9TH!
Our Wilson Middle School Color Run Fundraiser has been in full effect since May 9th. Students have been doing an awesome job collecting donations from their relatives and family friends. All funds collected will go towards student expenses, like dances, field trips, new school equipment and other school activities. Continue encouraging your student to collect donations to be able to qualify for some amazing incentives! Last day to turn in any funds and to qualify for incentives will be Tuesday, June 7th! NO money will be accepted after this date! Our actual Color Run Event will take place on Thursday, June 9th during the last half of the school day.
