Dear Wilson Families,

Thank you, again, for all of your support and service throughout the 2011-2012 school year.  I can’t say enough about the wonderful PTA.  They have sponsored successful activities and events that have made Wilson Elementary and its community a better place. 

This year students have excelled in many activities, including the science fairs, the spelling bee, the Grand Beehive, plays, orchestra, and reflections.  They donated approximately 400 items of food, one ton of clothing and service learning.

As we look forward to the common core implementation, I would encourage you to go on line and review its components.  The website is www.corestandards.org we love the rigor and the opportunity for students to apply their great thinking skills.

I would encourage you to ask your children to use thinking maps to explain his or her thinking about any subject.

Have an enjoyable summer!!

Xoxo Miss Sundee

Keep up the good work!

Keep turning in Box Tops!  You are doing great.  You can turn them in loose or on the box top collection sheets.  Either way is great.  We are keeping track of how many each class turns in.  The class with the most box tops turned in will get an ice cream party at the end of the year!

Science Fair

There was a great turn-out this year with fabulous projects.  Congratulations to those who continued on to the second round and competed in the Cache County Science Fair that was held at Intech Collegiate High School on February 23, 2012.

Principal's Message

Dear Wilson Parents,

We are the luckiest school around. 

The PTA is the “gold” at the end of our rainbow. During February, they trained every student how to create a science fair project.  Projects were on display during SEP’s.  Eleven of our students went on to compete at the next level.  Every one of them received ribbons for their work and participation. PTA also treated us to the perfect Valentine Tea.   They helped us during SEP’s and are consistently working for the families and the teachers in this community.  We look forward to the Mom’s, Math and Muffins.

Luckily we had about 95% of our families come to SEP conferences to meet with teachers and celebrate student achievement.  We trained many of you on how to help students with some of the math concepts in our Parent Universities.

With only twelve weeks left in school, I would like to encourage all of us to keep up the great work.  Among many other activities, let’s look forward to and plan for the following events:

Dancing with the Stars, Class placements for the 2012-2013 school year (available in the front office on March 19 and they will be due back by March 30th) Spring Break, Core Testing, and the end of the year celebration assembly.

Hooray for March.

Xoxo  Miss Sundee

Second Step:

This is a busy time for children who are learning many new skills in school.  One area of learning that requires specific skills is social-emotional learning.  These skills are very important for healthy child development.  At Wilson we are strengthening these skills with the use of a Second Step.  Our school social worker, Amy Court, and Principal Sundee have collaborated with teachers and parents to form small groups of children who can work together in developing and practicing positive social skills such as empathy, emotion management, and problem solving.  The groups are going great … watch for future updates about what we are learning!  If you want more information about the Second Step program, please email:  amy.court@loganschools.org.
