Recently the 4th grade classes spent some time learning a Virginia reel dance (an English folk dance) with Mrs. Holly Markgraf-Mayne. The students really enjoyed it and had a good time learning about that piece of history! Thanks once again to Ms. Holly for coming to help our students learn to enjoy dance and movement in all its forms.
Congratulations to Emily Sheets for being voted by the faculty here at Wilson as our school's teacher of the year! Emily is always working hard to help her 3rd graders, and she is beloved by all at Wilson School. She is certainly an example of how all teachers should be. Way to go, Miss Sheets!
We would like to remind everyone that spring pictures will be taken this Thursday, February 18th! Information/payment packets should have been sent home with your child earlier in the week. Please let us know if you have any questions!
The science fair is coming up this week, and we are excited about all the amazing projects the students at Wilson have been working on! For those who are participating in the science fair this year, all projects are due this Thursday, February 18th. This Friday, February 19th, the projects will be judged in the gym starting at 9:00am. The judges would like to encourage students to be dressed nice as they stand by their displays.
When you think of someone at our school who is always positive, energetic, and greets you with a smile, you definitely think of Shamayne Cram. Shamayne has worked in Nebo School District for 13 years, first as a technician and then as a 1st grade teacher at Wilson Elementary for 7 years. She is always bubbly and upbeat. She is willing to take on extra tasks and assignments for our school.
It's that time again! We are collecting boxtops to help earn money for our school. Every boxtop equals 10 cents, so every 20 boxtops is $2 for the school! Bring in or send with your child as many boxtops as you can find by Tuesday, February 16th, and help your child's class earn a prize. The class in each grade with the most boxtops will win a yummy prize! Thanks for your love and support of this great school. Go lions!
The Spanish Fork Junior High orchestra has been chosen as one of 12 finalists nationwide to win a grant and a visit from a Radio Disney star, and they need our help! We are excited to help out a fellow Nebo school and its students.

Last Thursday the top three winners from the 3rd-4th grade spelling bee and the top three winners from the 5th-6th grade spelling bee matched off in an overall competition. They were required to spell uncommon, difficult words, which made for an exciting event to watch. While all the students did a tremendous job, Savannah Stinson of 5th grade came out as the first place winner, with Luke Dalley of 6th grade in second place. Good job to all who participated in our spelling bees this year, and thank you to the PTA for organizing it all! Go Lions!
